King James VersionDeuteronomy30

Deuteronomy

1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the bless­ing and the curse, which I have set be­fore thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the na­tions, whith­er the LORD thy God hath driv­en thee, 2 And shalt re­turn unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice ac­cord­ing to all that I com­mand thee this day, thou and thy chil­dren, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; 3 That then the LORD thy God will turn thy cap­tiv­i­ty, and have com­pas­sion upon thee, and will re­turn and gath­er thee from all the na­tions, whith­er the LORD thy God hath scat­tered thee. 4 If any of thine be driv­en out unto the out­most parts of heav­en, from thence will the LORD thy God gath­er thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: 5 And the LORD 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 the LORD thy God will cir­cum­cise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. 7 And the LORD thy God will put all these curs­es upon thine en­e­mies, and on them that hate thee, which per­se­cut­ed thee. 8 And thou shalt re­turn and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his com­mand­ments which I com­mand thee this day. 9 And the LORD thy God will make thee plen­teous in ev­ery work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cat­tle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again re­joice over thee for good, as he re­joiced over thy fa­thers: 10 If thou shalt hear­ken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his com­mand­ments and his statutes which are writ­ten in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. 11 For this com­mand­ment which I com­mand thee this day, it is not hid­den from thee, nei­ther is it far off. 12 It is not in heav­en, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heav­en, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? 13 Nei­ther is it be­yond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? 14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. 15 See, I have set be­fore thee this day life and good, and death and evil; 16 In that I com­mand thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his com­mand­ments and his statutes and his judg­ments, that thou mayest live and mul­ti­ply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whith­er thou goest to pos­sess it. 17 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and wor­ship oth­er gods, and serve them; 18 I de­nounce unto you this day, that ye shall sure­ly per­ish, and that ye shall not pro­long your days upon the land, whith­er thou pass­est over Jor­dan to go to pos­sess it. 19 I call heav­en and earth to record this day against you, that I have set be­fore you life and death, bless­ing and curs­ing: there­fore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: 20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fa­thers, to Abra­ham, to Isaac, and to Ja­cob, to give them.
