1 “In the future, when you experience all these blessings and curses I have listed for you, and when you are living among the nations to which the lord your God has exiled you, take to heart all these instructions.
2 If at that time you and your children return to the lord your God, and if you obey with all your heart and all your soul all the commands I have given you today,
3 then the lord your God will restore your fortunes. He will have mercy on you and gather you back from all the nations where he has scattered you.
4 Even though you are banished to the ends of the earth, the lord your God will gather you from there and bring you back again.
