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^◦.
