Deuteronomy 30:1-5

International Standard Version

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.
