Douay Bible - Deuteronomy Chapter 30

Deuteronomy 30:1
Now when all these things shall be come upon thee, the blessing or the curse, which I have set forth before thee, and thou shalt be touched with repentance of thy heart among all the nations, into which the Lord thy God shall have scattered thee,

Deuteronomy 30:2
And shalt return to him, and obey his commandments, as I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul:

Deuteronomy 30:3
The Lord thy God will bring back again thy captivity, and will have mercy on thee, and gather thee again out of all the nations, into which he scattered thee before.

Deuteronomy 30:4
If thou be driven as far as the poles of heaven, the Lord thy God will fetch thee back from thence,

Deuteronomy 30:5
And will take thee to himself, and bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it: and blessing thee, he will make thee more numerous than were thy fathers.

Deuteronomy 30:6
The Lord thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed: that then mayst love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, that thou mayst live.

Deuteronomy 30:7
And he will turn all these curses upon thy enemies, and upon them that hate and persecute thee.

Deuteronomy 30:8
But thou shalt return, and hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and shalt do all the commandments which I command thee this day:

Deuteronomy 30:9
And the Lord thy God will make thee abound in all the works of thy hands, in the fruit of thy womb, and in the fruit of thy cattle, in the fruitfulness of thy land, and in the plenty of all things. For the Lord will return to rejoice over thee in all good things, as he rejoiced in thy fathers:

Deuteronomy 30:10
Yet so if thou hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and keep his precepts and ceremonies, which are written in this law: and return to the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.

Deuteronomy 30:11
This commandment, that I command thee this day is not above thee, nor far off from thee:

Deuteronomy 30:12
Nor is it in heaven, that thou shouldst say: Which of us can go up to heaven to bring it unto us, and we may hear and fulfil it in work?

Deuteronomy 30:13
Nor is it beyond the sea: that thou mayst excuse thyself, and say: Which of us can cross the sea, and bring it unto us: that we may hear, and do that which is commanded?

Deuteronomy 30:14
But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart, that thou mayst do it.

Deuteronomy 30:15
Consider that I have set before thee this day life and good, and on the other hand death and evil:

Deuteronomy 30:16
That thou mayst love the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways, and keep his commandments and ceremonies and judgments, and thou mayst live, and he may multiply thee, and bless thee in the land, which thou shalt go in to possess.

Deuteronomy 30:17
But if thy heart be turned away, so that thou wilt not hear, and being deceived with error thou adore strange gods, and serve them:

Deuteronomy 30:18
I foretell thee this day that thou shalt perish, and shalt remain but a short time in the land, to which thou shalt pass over the Jordan, and shalt go in to possess it.

Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to witness this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Choose therefore life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

Deuteronomy 30:20
And that thou mayst love the Lord thy God, and obey his voice, and adhere to him (for he is thy life, and the length of thy days,) that thou mayst dwell in the land, for which the Lord swore to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that he would give it them.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...
