Deuteronomy 30:1–10

Yahweh Will Take You Back

¹“So it will be, when all of these things have come upon you, ^athe blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you cause these things to return to your heart ^bin all the nations where Yahweh your God has banished you,

²and you ^areturn to Yahweh your God and listen to His voice ^bwith all your heart and soul according to all that I am commanding you today, you and your sons,

³then Yahweh your God will ^1areturn ²you from captivity and return His compassion on you, and He ^bwill gather you again from all the peoples where Yahweh your God has ^cscattered you.

⁴“If those of you who are banished are at the ends of the sky, ^afrom there Yahweh your God will gather you, and from there He will take you back.

⁵“^aAnd Yahweh your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and He will prosper you and ^bmultiply you more than your fathers.

⁶“Moreover ^aYahweh your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your seed, ^bto love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live.

⁷“^aAnd Yahweh your God will ¹inflict all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.

⁸“And you shall return and listen to the voice of Yahweh, and you shall do all His commandments which I am commanding you today.

⁹“^aThen Yahweh your God will ¹prosper you abundantly in all the work of your hand, in the ²offspring of your ³body and in the ⁴offspring of your cattle and in the ⁵produce of your ground, for ^bYahweh will return to rejoice over you for good, just as He rejoiced over your fathers,

¹⁰¹when you listen to the voice of Yahweh your God to keep His commandments and His statutes which ^aare written in this book of the law, ²when you return to Yahweh your God ^bwith all your heart and soul.
