Deuteronomy 30:1 In-Context

1 I have told you about all of those blessings and curses. The LORD will bring them on you. Then you will think carefully about them everywhere the LORD your God scatters you among the nations.

2 You and your children will return to the LORD your God. You will obey him with all your heart and with all your soul. That will be in keeping with everything I'm commanding you today.

3 When all of that happens, the LORD your God will bless you with great success again. He will be very kind to you. He'll bring you back from all of the nations where he scattered you.

4 Suppose you have been forced to go away to the farthest land on earth. The LORD your God will bring you back even from there.

5 He will bring you to the land that belonged to your people long ago. You will take it over. He'll make you better off than your people were. He'll increase your numbers more than he increased theirs.
