1
And it shall be, that all these things shall come upon thee, the blessing and the curse ◦, which I have put ◦ before thee, and thou shalt return to▵ thy heart, in all the nations whither Jehovah thy God has expelled thee.
2
And thou shalt return even··to Jehovah thy God , and shalt hearken to His voice , according··to all that I▵ command thee today , thou◦ and thy sons, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul ;
3
and Jehovah thy God will turn ··back thy captivity , and have··compassion··on thee, and will return and bring· thee ·together from all the peoples, whither Jehovah thy God has scattered thee.
4
If any of thine be expelled to the end parts of the heavens , from thence will Jehovah thy God bring· thee ·together, and from thence will He fetch thee;
5
and Jehovah 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 .
6
And Jehovah thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed , to love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul , so··that thou mayest live.
7
And Jehovah thy God will put ◦ all these curses▫ on thine enemies , and on them that hate thee, who persecuted thee.
8
And thou◦ shalt return and hearken to the voice of Jehovah , and do all His commandments which I▵ command thee today .
9
And Jehovah thy God will make thee excel◦ in every work ◦ of thy hand , in the fruit of thy belly , and in the fruit of thy beasts , and in the fruit of thy ground , for good ; for Jehovah will return to have··joy over thee for good , as◦ He had··joy over thy fathers :
10
when◦ thou obey the voice of Jehovah thy God , to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this book of the Law , and when◦ thou return to▵ Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul .
11
For this commandment which I▵ command thee today , is not too wonderful for thee, neither is it far··off.
12
It◦ is not in the heavens , to say , Who shall go··up for us to▫ the heavens , and fetch it for us , that we may hear it, and do it?
13
Neither is it across the sea , to say , Who shall cross the sea for us , and fetch it for us , that we may hear it, and do it?
14
But the Word is very near to▵ thee, in thy mouth , and in thy heart, to do it.
15
See , I have put ◦ before thee today life and good , and death and evil ;
16
in that I▵ command thee today to love Jehovah thy God , to walk ◦ in His ways , and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments ; and thou shalt live and multiply ; and Jehovah thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou come to possess it.
17
But if thy heart turn ◦, and thou wilt not hear , but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods , and serve them;
18
I tell you today , that perishing you shall perish, you shall not prolong your days upon the ground, whither thou◦ cross··over the Jordan to go ··in to possess it.
19
I call· the heavens and the earth ·to··testify today against◦ you, that I have put ◦ before thee life and death, blessing and cursing ◦; and choose life , so··that thou mayest live, thou◦ and thy seed :
20
to love Jehovah thy God , to obey His voice , and to stick to Him; for He◦ is thy lives*, and the length of thy days , to dwell on the ground which Jehovah promised to thy fathers , to Abraham , to Isaac , and to Jacob , to give them◦.
