Restoration after the Exile

30 “When all these things happen to you—both the blessings and the curses that I’ve presented to you—and you take them seriously^[a] in all the nations where the Lord your God will deport you, ² and when you—you and your descendants, that is—will have returned to him^[b] and obeyed all the commands that I’m giving you today with all your heart and soul, ³ then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and will show compassion to you. He will gather you from among the nations^[c] where he^[d] had scattered you. ⁴ Even if the Lord had banished you to the ends of the heavens, the Lord your God will gather you from there ⁵ and he’ll^[e] bring you to the land that your ancestors inherited. You’ll possess it, you’ll prosper, and you’ll greatly multiply more than your ancestors did. ⁶ Then the Lord your God will circumcise both your hearts and those^[f] of your descendants so that you can love him^[g] with your heart and with your soul and therefore live. ⁷ Then the Lord your God will inflict all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate and persecute you.”

Prosperity in Obedience

⁸ “So now, return and obey the Lord your God and observe all his commands that I’m giving you today, ⁹ and the Lord your God will prosper you abundantly in all that you do, along with your children,^[h] your livestock, and the produce of your fields, because the Lord your God will again be delighted with you for good, just as he was delighted with your ancestors, ¹⁰ if you obey him^[i] and keep his commands and statutes that are written in this Book of the Law, and if you return to him^[j] with all your heart and soul.
