64 “And the Lord ^rwill scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other, and ^sthere you shall serve other gods ^tof wood and stone, ^uwhich neither you nor your fathers have known. 65 And ^vamong these nations you shall find no respite, and there shall be no resting place for the sole of your foot, but ^wthe Lord will give you there a trembling heart and failing eyes and ^xa languishing soul. 66 Your life shall hang in doubt before you. Night and day you shall be in dread and have no assurance of your life. 67 ^yIn the morning you shall say, ‘If only it were evening!’ and at evening you shall say, ‘If only it were morning!’ because of the dread that your heart shall feel, and ^zthe sights that your eyes shall see. 68 And the Lord ^awill bring you back in ships to Egypt, a journey that I promised that ^byou should never make again; and there you shall offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but there will be no buyer.”

1 ^h“And ⁱwhen all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and ^jyou call them to mind among all the nations where the Lord your God has driven you, 2 and ^kreturn to the Lord your God, you and your children, and obey his voice in all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your soul, 3 then the Lord your God ^lwill restore your fortunes and have mercy on you, and he will ^mgather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you. 4 ⁿIf your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there the Lord your God will gather you, and from there he will take you. 5 And the Lord your God will bring you into the land that your fathers possessed, that you may possess it. ^oAnd he will make you more prosperous and numerous than your fathers. 6 And ^pthe Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your offspring, ^qso that you will love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live. 7 And the Lord your God will put all these curses on your foes and enemies who persecuted you. 8 And you shall again obey the voice of the Lord and keep all his commandments that I command you today. 9 ^rThe Lord your God will make you abundantly prosperous in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your womb and in the fruit of your cattle and in the fruit of your ground. ^sFor the Lord will again take delight in prospering you, as he took delight in your fathers, 10 when you obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes that are written in this Book of the Law, when you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
