Deuteronomy 30 - Revised Standard Version(RSV)

1“And when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the nations where the Lord your God has driven you,

2and return to the Lord your God, you and your children, and obey his voice in all that I command you this day, with all your heart and with all your soul;

3then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes, and have compassion upon you, and he will gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you.

4 which I command you this day, by loving the Lord your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, then you shall live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you are entering to take possession of it.

17But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away to worship other gods and serve them,

18I declare to you this day, that you shall perish; you shall not live long in the land which you are going over the Jordan to enter and possess.

19I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live,

20loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice, and cleaving to him; for that means life to you and length of days, that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”
