CHAP. XXX.

1 Mercie shewed when they repent. 6 The Lord doeth cir∣cumcise the heart. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 All excuse of ignorance is taken a∣way. 19 Life and death is set before them. 20 The Lorde is their life which obey him.

1 NOw when all these things shall come vp∣pō thee, (ether) the blessing or the curse which I haue set before thee, ād thou shalta turne into thine heart, among all the naciōs whether the Lord thy God hath driuē thee.

2 And shalt returne vnto the Lorde thy God, and obey hys voyce in all that I commande thee this day: thou, and thy children with all thineb heart and with all thy soule.

3 Then the Lorde thy God will cause thy' cap∣tiues to returne, and haue compassion vpon thee, and will returne, to gather thee out of all the people, where the Lord thy God had scatered thee.

4 Thogh thou werest caste vnto the vtmost parte ofc heauen, from thence will the Lord thy God gatherthee, ād from thence wil he

d take thee.

5 And the Lord thy God wil bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possesse it, and he wil shewe thee fauour, and wil multiplie thee aboue thy fa∣thers.

6 And the Lord thy God wile circumcise thi∣ne heart, and the heart of thy sede, that thou maist loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soule, that thou maist liue.

7 And the Lord thy God wil lay all these cur∣ses vpon thine enemies, and on them, that hate thee, and that persecute thee.

8 f Returne thou therefore, & obey the voice of the Lord, and do all his commandements, which I commande thee this day.

9 And the Lord thy God wil make thee plen∣teous in euerie worke of thine hand, in the frute of thy body, and in the frute of thy cat∣tel, and in the frute of the land for thy welth for the Lord wil turne againe andg reioyce ouer thee to do thee good, as he reioyced ouerthy fathers,

10 Because thou shalt obey the voyce of the Lord thy God, in keping his commandemēts and his ordinances, which are written in the boke of this Lawe, when thou shalt returne vnto the Lord thy God with all thine heart and with all thy soule.

11 ¶ For this cōmandement which I comman∣de thee this day, ish nothid frō thee, nether is it farre of.

12 It is not in heauen, that thou shuldest say, * Who shal go vp for vs to heauen, and bring it vs, and cause vs to heare it, that we may do it?

13 Nether is it beyonde thei sea, that thou shul dest say, Who shal go ouer the sea for vs, and bring it vs, and cause vs to heare it, that we may do it?

14 But thek worde is verie nere vnto thee: (euen) in thy mouth and in thine heart, for tol do it.

15 Beholde, I haue set before thee this day life and good, death and euil.

16 In that I commande thee this day,m to loue the Lord thy God, to walke in his wayes, ād to kepe his commandements, and his ordi∣nances, and his lawes that thou maiestn liue and be multiplied, and that the Lord thy God may blesse thee in the land, whether thou goest to possesse it.

17 But if thine heart turne away, so that thou wilt not obey, but shalt be seduced and wor ship other gods, and serue them,

18 I pronounce vnto you this day that ye shal surely perish, ye shal not prolong your dayes in the land whether thou passest ouer Iordén to possesse it.

19 * I call heauen and earth to recorde this day against you, (that) I haue set before you life and death, blessing and cursing, therfo∣reo chose life, that (bothe) thou and thy sede may liue,

20 By louing the Lord thy God, by obeying his voyce, and by cleauing vnto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy dayes: that thou maist dwel in the land which the Lord sware vnto thy fathers, Abrahám, Izhák and Iaakób, to giue him.
