And it
shall come to pass, when all these things are
come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which
I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them
to mind among all the nations, whither the Lord
thy God hath driven thee,
02 And shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and
shalt obey his voice according to all that I
command thee this day, thou and thy children,
with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;
03 That then the Lord thy God will turn thy
captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and
will return and gather thee from all the nations,
whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee.
04 If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost
parts of heaven, from thence will the Lord thy
God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch
thee:
05 And the Lord thy God will bring thee into the
land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt
possess it; and he will do thee good, and
multiply thee above thy fathers.
06 And the Lord thy God will circumcise thine
heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the
Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all
thy soul, that thou mayest live.
07 And the Lord thy God will put all these curses
upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee,
which persecuted thee.
08 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of
the Lord, and do all his commandments which I
command thee this day.
09 And the Lord thy God will make thee plenteous
in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy
body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the
fruit of thy land, for good: for the Lord will
again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced
over thy fathers:
10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the
Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his
statutes which are written in this book of the
law, and if thou turn unto the Lord thy God with
all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

11 For this commandment which I command thee this
day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it
far off.
12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say,
Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it
unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou
shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us,
and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do
it?
14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy
mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
15 See, I have set before thee this day life and
good, and death and evil;
16 In that I command thee this day to love the
Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep
his commandments and his statutes and his
judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply:
and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land
whither thou goest to possess it.
17 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou
wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and
worship other gods, and serve them;
18 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall
surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your
days upon the land, whither thou passest over
Jordan to go to possess it.
19 I call heaven and earth to record this day
against you, that I have set before you life and
death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose
life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
20 That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and
that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou
mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and
the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in
the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers,
to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
