Chapter 30

1When all these things befall you—the blessing and the curse that I have set before you—and you take them to heart amidst the various nations to which Hashem your God has banished you,

2and you return to Hashem your God, and you and your children heed His command with all your heart and soul, just as I enjoin upon you this day,

3then Hashem your God will restore your fortunes and take you back in love. He will bring you together again from all the peoples where Hashem your God has scattered you.

4Even if your outcasts are at the ends of the world, from there Hashem your God will gather you, from there He will fetch you.

5And Hashem your God will bring you to the land that your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and He will make you more prosperous and more numerous than your fathers.

6Then Hashem your God will open up your heart and the hearts of your offspring to love Hashem your God with all your heart and soul, in order that you may live.

7Hashem your God will inflict all those curses upon the enemies and foes who persecuted you.

8You, however, will again heed Hashem and obey all His commandments that I enjoin upon you this day.

9And Hashem your God will grant you abounding prosperity in all your undertakings, in the issue of your womb, the offspring of your cattle, and the produce of your soil. For Hashem will again delight in your well-being, as He did in that of your fathers,

10since you will be heeding Hashem your God and keeping His commandments and laws that are recorded in this book of the Teaching—once you return to Hashem your God with all your heart and soul.

11Surely, this Instruction which I enjoin upon you this day is not too baffling for you, nor is it beyond reach.

14No, the thing is very close to you, in your mouth and in your heart, to observe it.

16For I command you this day, to love Hashem your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His laws, and His rules, that you may thrive and increase, and that Hashem your God may bless you in the land that you are about to enter and possess.
