The Israelites Will Return

30 When all these blessings and curses I have described happen to you, and the Lord your God has ·sent [driven] you away to other nations [2 Kin. 25:1–21; 2 Chr. 36:17–20; Jer. 39:1–10; 52:1–30], ·think about [call to mind; meditate on] these things. ² Then you and your children will return to the Lord your God, and you will ·obey him [listen to his voice] with ·your whole being [^Lall your heart/mind and all your soul] in everything I am commanding you today. ³ Then the Lord your God will ·give you back your freedom [restore your fortunes]. He will ·feel sorry for [have mercy on] you, and he will bring you back again from the nations where he scattered you [2 Chr. 36:22–23; Ezra 1:1—2:70].
