30:1 “When you have experienced all these things, both the blessings and the curses ¹  I have set before you, you will reflect upon them ²  in all the nations where the Lord your God has banished you. 30:2 Then if you and your descendants ³  turn to the Lord your God and obey him with your whole mind and being ⁴  just as ⁵  I am commanding you today, 30:3 the Lord your God will reverse your captivity and have pity on you. He will turn and gather you from all the peoples among whom he ⁶  has scattered you. 30:4 Even if your exiles are in the most distant land, ⁷  from there the Lord your God will gather you and bring you back. 30:5 Then he ⁸  will bring you to the land your ancestors ⁹  possessed and you also will possess it; he will do better for you and multiply you more than he did your ancestors.
