Returning to the Lord

1 “When all these things happen to you—the blessings and curses I have set before you—and you come to your senses while you are in all the nations where the Lord your God has driven you, 2 and you and your children return to the Lord your God and obey Him with all your heart and all your soul by doing(a) everything I am giving you today, 3 then He will restore your fortunes,(b) have compassion on you, and gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you.(A) 4 Even if your exiles are at the ends of the earth,(c) He will gather you and bring you back from there.(B) 5 The Lord your God will bring you into the land your fathers possessed, and you will take possession of it.(C) He will cause you to prosper and multiply you more than He did your fathers.
