Deuteronomy 30:1 In-Context

1 When all these things have happened to you, the blessings and the curses that I have set before you, if you call them to mind among all the nations where the Lord your God has driven you,
2 and return to the Lord your God, and you and your children obey him with all your heart and with all your soul, just as I am commanding you today,
3 then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you, gathering you again from all the peoples among whom the Lord your God has scattered you.
4 Even if you are exiled to the ends of the world, from there the Lord your God will gather you, and from there he will bring you back.
5 The Lord your God will bring you into the land that your ancestors possessed, and you will possess it; he will make you more prosperous and numerous than your ancestors.
