1. 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 to mind among all the nations, whither יְהוָ֥ה thy Elohim hath driven thee,

2. And shalt return unto יְהוָ֥ה thy Elohim, 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;

3. That then יְהוָ֥ה thy Elohim will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither יְהוָ֥ה thy Elohim hath scattered thee.

4. If of thine be driven out unto the outmost of heaven, from thence will יְהוָ֥ה thy Elohim gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:

5. And יְהוָ֥ה thy Elohim 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.

6. And יְהוָ֥ה thy Elohim will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love יְהוָ֥ה thy Elohim with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

7. And יְהוָ֥ה thy Elohim will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.

8. And thou shalt return and obey the voice of יְהוָ֥ה, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.

9. And יְהוָ֥ה thy Elohim 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 יְהוָ֥ה will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:

10. If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of יְהוָ֥ה thy Elohim, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, if thou turn unto יְהוָ֥ה thy Elohim with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

11. For this commandment which I command thee this day, it not hidden from thee, neither it far off.

12. It 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 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 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 יְהוָ֥ה thy Elohim, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and יְהוָ֥ה thy Elohim 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, ye shall not prolong 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, 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 יְהוָ֥ה thy Elohim, that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which יְהוָ֥ה sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
