Deuteronomy 30 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Restoration Promised

Deu 30:1

“So it will be when all of these things have come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have placed before you, and you [fn]call them to mind in all the nations where the LORD your God has scattered you,

Deu 30:2and you return to the LORD your God and [fn]obey Him with all your heart and soul in accordance with everything that I am commanding you today, you and your sons,
Deu 30:3then the LORD your God will restore [fn]you from captivity, and have compassion on you, and will gather you again from all the peoples where the LORD your God has scattered you.
Deu 30:4“If any of your scattered countrymen are at the [fn]ends of the earth, from there the LORD your God will gather you, and from there He will [fn]bring you back.
Deu 30:5“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 make you more numerous than your fathers.
Deu 30:6

“Moreover, the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the hearts of your [fn]descendants, to love the LORD your God with all your heart and all your soul, so that you may live.

Deu 30:7“And the LORD your God will [fn]inflict all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.
Deu 30:8“And you will again [fn]obey the LORD, and [fn]follow all His commandments which I am commanding you today.
Deu 30:9“Then the LORD your God will prosper you [fn]abundantly in every work of your hand, in the [fn]children of your womb, the [fn]offspring of your cattle, and in the [fn]produce of your ground, for the LORD will again rejoice over you for good, just as He rejoiced over your fathers;
Deu 30:10[fn]if you [fn]obey the LORD your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this Book of the Law, [fn]if you turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and soul.
Deu 30:11

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

Deu 30:12“It is not in heaven, [fn]that you could say, ‘Who will go up to heaven for us and get it for us, and proclaim it to us, so that we may [fn]follow it?’
Deu 30:13“Nor is it beyond the sea, [fn]that you could say, ‘Who will cross the sea for us and get it for us and proclaim it to us, so that we may [fn]follow it?’
Deu 30:14“On the contrary, the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may [fn]follow it.

Choose Life

Deu 30:15

“See, I have placed before you today life and [fn]happiness, and death and [fn]adversity,

Deu 30:16in that I am commanding you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, so that you may live and become numerous, and that the LORD your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to take possession of it.
Deu 30:17“But if your heart turns away and you will not obey, but allow yourself to be led astray and you worship other gods and serve them,
Deu 30:18I declare to you today that you will certainly perish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you are crossing the Jordan to enter [fn]and take possession of it.
Deu 30:19“I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have placed before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your [fn]descendants,
Deu 30:20by loving the LORD your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding close to Him; for [fn]this is your life and the length of your days, [fn]so that you may live in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”
