Restoration Promised

30 “So it will be when all of these things have come upon you, ^(A)the blessing and the curse which I have placed before you, and you ^[a]call them to mind ^(B)in all the nations where the Lord your God has scattered you, ² and you ^(C)return to the Lord your God and ^[b]obey Him ^(D)with all your heart and soul in accordance with everything that I am commanding you today, you and your sons, ³ then the Lord your God will ^(E)restore ^[c]you from captivity, and have compassion on you, and ^(F)will gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has ^(G)scattered you. ⁴ If any of your scattered countrymen are at the ^[d]ends of the earth, ^(H)from there the Lord your God will gather you, and from there He will ^[e]bring you back. ^5 (I)The Lord your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and He will be good to you and ^(J)make you more numerous than your fathers.

⁶ “Moreover, ^(K)the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the hearts of your ^[f]descendants, ^(L)to love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul, so that you may live. ^7 (M)And the Lord your God will ^[g]inflict all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you. ⁸ And you will again ^[h]obey the Lord, and ^[i]follow all His commandments which I am commanding you today. ^9 (N)Then the Lord your God will prosper you ^[j]abundantly in every work of your hand, in the ^[k]children of your womb, the ^[l]offspring of your cattle, and in the ^[m]produce of your ground, for ^(O)the Lord will again rejoice over you for good, just as He rejoiced over your fathers; ^10 [n]if you ^[o]obey the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which ^(P)are written in this Book of the Law, ^[p]if you turn to the Lord your God ^(Q)with all your heart and soul.

¹¹ “For this commandment which I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you, nor is it far away.

³⁰ Go, say to them, “Return to your tents.” ^31 (A)But as for you, stand here by Me, that I may speak to you all the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments which you shall teach them, so that they may ^[a]follow them in the land which I am giving them to possess.’

Obey God and Prosper

6 “Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the judgments which the Lord your God has commanded me to teach you, so that you may do them in the land where you are going over to take possession of it,

^20 (A)then admonish them about the statutes and the laws, and make known to them ^(B)the way in which they are to walk and the work they are to do.
