Deuteronomy 30:1-10 - Returning To The Lord
1 "When all these things happen to you both the blessings and the curses that I've presented to you and you take them seriously in all the nations where the LORD your God will deport you, 2 and when you you and your descendants, that is will have returned to him and obeyed all the commands that I'm giving you today with all your heart and soul, 3 then the LORD your God will restore your fortunes and will show compassion to you. He will gather you from among the nations where he had scattered you. 4 Even if the LORD had banished you to the ends of the heavens, the LORD your God will gather you from there 5 and he'll bring you to the land that your ancestors inherited. You'll possess it, you'll prosper, and you'll greatly multiply more than your ancestors did. 6 Then the LORD your God will circumcise both your hearts and those of your descendants so that you can love him with your heart and with your soul and therefore live. 7 Then the LORD your God will inflict all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate and persecute you." 8 "So now, return and obey the LORD your God and observe all his commands that I'm giving you today, 9 and the LORD your God will prosper you abundantly in all that you do, along with your children, your livestock, and the produce of your fields, because the LORD your God will again be delighted with you for good, just as he was delighted with your ancestors, 10 if you obey him and keep his commands and statutes that are written in this Book of the Law, and if you return to him with all your heart and soul.
