Deuteronomy 30:1-14 ▼

1 “ And it shall come to pass, when all these things come upon you—the blessing and the curse that I have set before you—and you call them to mind in all the nations to which YHWH your God has driven you away,

2 and you return to YHWH your God and listen to His voice according to all that I command you today—you and your sons—with all your heart and with all your soul,

3 then YHWH your God will turn back your captivity, and have compassion on you, and turn back and gather you from all the nations to which YHWH your God has scattered you there.

4 If it comes to pass that you are cast out into the extremity of the heavens, from there YHWH your God will gather you, and from there He will bring you.

5 And YHWH your God will bring you into the land that your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it, and He will prosper you and multiply you more than your fathers.

6 And YHWH your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your seed, to love YHWH your God with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live.

7 And YHWH your God will put all these oaths on your enemies and on those who hate you, who pursued you.

8 And you will turn back and listen to the voice of YHWH and do all His commandments that I command you today.

9 And YHWH your God will make you abound in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your womb, and in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your land, for good. For YHWH will again rejoice over you for good, as He rejoiced over your fathers,

10 if you listen to the voice of YHWH your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes written in the Book of this Law, and if you turn to YHWH your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

11 For this commandment that I command you today is not too wonderful for you, and it is not far off.

12 It is not in the heavens, that you should say, ‘Who will ascend for us into the heavens and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’

13 Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go for us to beyond the sea and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’

14 But the word is very near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.
