1 When you come to all these words - the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call [them] to mind among all the nations which the LORD thy God hath scattered thee,
2 and return to the Lord your God and obey his voice, as I command thee this day, thou and thy sons with all your and with all thy soul -
3 And the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather you from all the peoples where the LORD your God has scattered you.
4 While you were outmost parts of heaven, from there will bring you to the Lord your God, and from there will take you,
5 and bring you the Lord your God in the land which thy fathers possessed, and you shall possess it, and dealt well with thee, and multiply thee above thy fathers;
6 and the Lord God will circumcise your heart and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thy substance, and with all thy soul heart, that you may live;
7 And the LORD thy God all these curses upon thine enemies and those who hate thee, which persecuted thee
8 and thou shalt return and obey the voice of Jehovah and do all his commandments which I command thee this day;
9 with an excess will give you the success of the LORD thy God in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of your ground; for the LORD will again rejoice over thee, prospering [you], 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 thy heart and with all your soul.

eleven For this commandment which I command thee this day is not available and is not far for you;
12 It is not in heaven, so that you can [was] saying, `Who shall go up to heaven for us and bring it to us, and would give us hear it, that we may do it? '
13 and not beyond the sea, that can be [was] saying, `Who shall go for us would be for the sea, and bring it to us, and gave us hear it, that we may do it? '
14 but very close to you this word, [it] in your mouth and in your heart to perform it.

15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, death and evil.
16 [I] which I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply, and bless thee, the LORD thy God in the land, whither thou goest to possess it;
17 if thine heart turn away, and thou wilt not hear, drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them,
18 I declare to you today that you shall surely perish, and not prolong your days upon the land, for mastering thou passest over Jordan.
19 To witness before you call heaven and earth to life and death I tell you, the blessing and the curse. Therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed,
20 I love the Lord your God, obeying his voice, and by sticking to him; for this is your life and the length of thy days, that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
