Restoration Promised

30 “So it shall be when all of these things have come upon you, (A)the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you [a]call them to mind (B)in all nations where the Lord your God has banished you, and you (C)return to the Lord your God and [b]obey Him (D)with all your heart and soul according to all that I command you today, you and your sons, 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. If your outcasts are at the ends of the [d]earth, (H)from there the Lord your God will gather you, and from there He will [e]bring you back. (I)The Lord your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and He will prosper you and (J)multiply you more than your fathers.

“Moreover (K)the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your [f]descendants, (L)to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live. (M)The Lord your God will [g]inflict all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you. And you shall again [h]obey the Lord, and observe all His commandments which I command you today. (N)Then the Lord your God will [i]prosper you abundantly in all the work of your hand, in the [j]offspring of your [k]body and in 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.
