He will have mercy on you and gather you from all the nations of the world where he will scatter you. Even if you are scattered to the most distant country in the world, the Lord your God will gather you and bring you back from there. 5The Lord your God will bring you to the land your ancestors owned. You will take possession of it, and the Lord will make you more prosperous and numerous than your ancestors were. 6The Lord your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants. You will love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and you will live.
