Deuteronomy 30

It shall happen, when all these things are come on you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you shall call them to mind among all the nations, where Allah your God has driven you, 2and shall return to Allah your God, and shall obey his voice according to all that I command you this day, you and your children, with all your heart, and with all your soul; 3that then Allah your God will turn your captivity, and have compassion on you, and will return and gather you from all the peoples, where Allah your God has scattered you. 4If any of your outcasts are in a place beyond the horizon, from there will Allahyour God gather you, and from there will he bring you back: 5and Allah your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and he will do you good, and multiply you above your fathers. 6Allah your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your seed, to love Allahyour God with all your heart, and with all your soul, that you may live. 7Allah your God will put all these curses on your enemies, and on those who hate you, who persecuted you. 8You shall return and obey the voice of Allah, and do all his commandments which I command you this day. 9Allah your God will make you plenteous in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your ground, for good: for Allah will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your fathers; 10if you shall obey the voice of Allah your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this Book of the Taurat; if you turn to Allah your God with all your heart, and with all your soul. 11For this commandment which I command you this day, it is not too hard for you, neither is it far off. 12It is not in heaven, that you should say, Who will go up to heaven[1] for us, and bring it to us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it? 13Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, Who will go down to the sea[2] for us, and bring it to us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it? 14But the word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart,[3] that you may do it. 15Behold, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil; 16in that I command you this day to love Allah your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, that you may live and multiply, and that Allah your God may bless you in the land where you go in to possess it. 17But if your heart turn away, and you will not hear, but shall be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; 18I denounce to you this day, that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land, where you pass over the Jordan to go in to possess it. 19I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your seed; 20to love Allah your God, to obey his voice, and to cleave to him; for he is your life, and the length of your days; that you may dwell in the land which Allah swore to your fathers, to Ibrahim, to Ishaq, and to Yaqub, to give them.
