When therefore all these words shall come upon you, the blessing or the curse which I have set before you, and being led to the mind of your heart among all the nations, into which the Lord your God has scattered you, and you shall return to him, and you shall obey his commands, as I command you today, with your sons, with all your heart and with your whole soul. that the LORD your God will bring back your captivity, and have mercy on you, and will gather you again from all the peoples among whom he has scattered you. If you have been scattered to the poles of the sky, then the Lord your God will withdraw you and he will take and bring you into the land which your fathers had possessed, and you will obtain it, and, by blessing you, he will make you a greater number than your fathers were. The Lord your God will circumcise your heart and your seed's heart, so that you may love the Lord your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul so that you can live. And he will turn all these curses upon your enemies, and on those who hate and persecute you. But you shall return, and obey the voice of the Lord your God, and do all the commandments which I command you today. and the Lord your God will make you abound in all the works of your hands, in the offspring of your body, and in the fruit of your cattle, in the abundance of your land, and in the abundance of all things. For the Lord will return, that he may rejoice over you in all good things, as he rejoiced in your fathers but if you will listen to the voice of the LORD your God and keep his statutes and the statutes that are written in this law, and return to the Lord your God with all your heart and with your whole soul. This commandment, which I am commanding you today, is not above you, nor far off nor is it situated in heaven, so that you may say, Who of us is able to ascend to heaven, so that it may convey it to us, and we may hear it, and do it in work? nor lying beyond the sea: that you might plead and say: Which of us will be able to cross the sea, and bring it down to us, that we may be able to hear and do what is commanded? but the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, to do it. Consider what I have set before you today, life and good, and death and evil, that you may love the LORD your God, and walk in his ways, and keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, and live, and multiply you, and bless you in the land into which you are going to possess it. But if your heart is turned away, and you will not listen, and being deceived, you will worship other gods and serve them. I tell thee this day that you shall perish, and dwell a little in the land, into which, when you pass over the Jordan, you shall go in to possess it. I call heaven and earth to witness this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Choose therefore life, that you may live also, and your seed and love the Lord your God, and obey his voice, and cleave to him (for he is your life and the length of your days), so that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to them .
