The Promise of Restoration
(1) "And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you shall call them to mind among all the nations, where the LORD your God has driven you,
(2) and shall return to the LORD your God, and shall obey his voice according to all that I command you this day, you and your children, with all your heart, and with all your soul,
(3) then the LORD your God will bring you back home from captivity, and have compassion on you, and will return and gather you from all the nations, where the LORD your God has scattered you.
(4) If any of you are driven out to the outskirts of heaven, from there the LORD your God will gather you, and from there he will bring you back.
(5) And the LORD your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; he will do you good, and multiply you above your fathers.
(6) The LORD your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your descendants, to love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, that you may live.
(7) And the LORD your God will put all these curses on your enemies, and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.
(8) You shall return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command you this day.
(9) And the LORD your God will make you plenteous in every work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your animals, and in the fruit of your land, for good; for the LORD will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your fathers,
(10) if you shall listen to the voice of the LORD your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if you turn to the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul.
The Commandment is Near to You
(11) For this commandment which I command you this day, it is not hidden from you, neither is it far off.
(12) It is not in heaven, that you should say, 'Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it to us, that we may hear it, and do it?'
(13) Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, 'Who shall go over the sea for us, 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.
Death and Life are set Before Them
(15) See, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil;
(16) In that I command you this day to love the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, so that you may live and multiply, and the LORD your God shall bless you in the land where you go to possess it.
(17) But if your heart turns away, so that you will not hear, but shall be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them,
(18) then I declare to YOU this day, that YOU shall surely perish, and that YOU shall not prolong YOUR days on the land, where you cross over the Jordan to go to possess it.
(19) I call heaven and earth to witness against YOU this day, that I have set before YOU life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;
(20) That you may love the LORD your God, and that you may obey his voice, and that you may cling to him, for he is your life, and the length of; that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them."
