* "Now it shall come to pass , when all these things come upon you , the blessing and the curse which I have set before you , and you call them to mind among all the nations where the LORD your God drives you , * and you return to the LORD your God and obey His voice , according to all that I command you today , you and your children , with all your heart and with all your soul , * that the LORD your God will bring you back from captivity , and have compassion on you , and gather you again from all the nations where the LORD your God has scattered you . * If any of you are driven out to the farthest parts under heaven , from there the LORD your God will gather you , and from there He will bring you . * Then the LORD your God will bring you to the land which your fathers possessed , and you shall possess it . He will prosper you and multiply you more than your fathers . * And 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 . * "Also the LORD your God will put all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you , who persecuted you . * And you will again obey the voice of the LORD and do all His commandments which I command you today . * The LORD your God will make you abound in all the work of your hand , in the fruit of your body , in the increase of your livestock , and in the produce of your land for good . For the LORD will again rejoice over you for good as He rejoiced over your fathers , * if you obey 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 . * "For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you , nor is it far off . * It is not in heaven , that you should say , "Who will ascend into heaven for us and bring it to us , that we may hear it and do it ?' * Nor is it beyond the sea , that you should say , "Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us , that we may hear it and do it ?' * But the word is very near you , in your mouth and in your heart , that you may do it . * "See , I have set before you today life and good , death and evil , * in that I command you today to love the LORD your God , to walk in His ways , and to keep His commandments , His statutes , and His judgments , that you may live and multiply ; and the LORD your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess . * But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear , and are drawn away , and worship other gods and serve them , * I announce to you today that you shall surely perish ; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess . * I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you , that I have set before you life and death , blessing and cursing ; therefore choose life , that both you and your descendants may live ; * that you may love the LORD your God , that you may obey His voice , and that you may cling to Him , for He is your life and the length of your days ; and that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers , to Abraham , Isaac , and Jacob , to give them ."
