⁴² I will remember my covenant with Jacob^(A) and my covenant with Isaac^(B) and my covenant with Abraham,^(C) and I will remember the land. ⁴³ For the land will be deserted^(D) by them and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them. They will pay for their sins because they rejected^(E) my laws and abhorred my decrees.^{(F) 44} Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies,^(G) I will not reject them or abhor^(H) them so as to destroy them completely,^(I) breaking my covenant^(J) with them. I am the Lord their God. ⁴⁵ But for their sake I will remember^(K) the covenant with their ancestors whom I brought out of Egypt^(L) in the sight of the nations to be their God. I am the Lord.’”

Prosperity After Turning to the Lord

30 When all these blessings and curses^(A) I have set before you come on you and you take them to heart wherever the Lord your God disperses you among the nations,^{(B) 2} and when you and your children return^(C) to the Lord your God and obey him with all your heart^(D) and with all your soul according to everything I command you today, ³ then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes^[a](E) and have compassion^(F) on you and gather^(G) you again from all the nations where he scattered^(H) you.^{(I) 4} Even if you have been banished to the most distant land under the heavens,^(J) from there the Lord your God will gather^(K) you and bring you back.^{(L) 5} He will bring^(M) you to the land that belonged to your ancestors, and you will take possession of it. He will make you more prosperous and numerous^(N) than your ancestors. ⁶ The Lord your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants,^(O) so that you may love^(P) him with all your heart and with all your soul, and live. ⁷ The Lord your God will put all these curses^(Q) on your enemies who hate and persecute you.^{(R) 8} You will again obey the Lord and follow all his commands I am giving you today. ⁹ Then the Lord your God will make you most prosperous in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your land.^(S) The Lord will again delight^(T) in you and make you prosperous, just as he delighted in your ancestors, ¹⁰ if you obey the Lord your God and keep his commands and decrees that are written in this Book of the Law^(U) and turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.^(V)
