Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

And it shall be, when all these words come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, that you shall take them to your heart among all the nations wherever the Lord scatters you there;
If your dispersion is from one end of heaven to the other end of heaven, from there the Lord your God will gather you, and from there the Lord your God will take you.
And the Lord your God will bring you into the land which your fathers inherited, and you shall inherit it; and he will do you good and will make you more numerous than your fathers.
And the Lord will purify your heart and the heart of your seed, to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.
And the Lord your God will greatly care for you in every work of your hands, in the offspring of your womb, and in the produce of your land, and in the offspring of your cattle; for the Lord your God will turn again to rejoice over you for good, just as he rejoiced over your fathers.
if you hearken to the voice of the Lord your God, to keep and to do all his commandments and his ordinances and his judgments which are written in the book of this law; if you turn back to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
Nor is it beyond the sea, so that one says, Who will cross over for us to the other side of the sea and take it for us and make us hear it, that we may do it?
If you hearken to the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you today, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his ordinances and his judgments, then you shall live and shall be many, and the Lord your God will bless you in all the land into which you are entering there to inherit it.
I declare to you today that you shall utterly perish, and you shall not be many days upon the land which the Lord your God gives you, into which you are crossing the Jordan there to inherit it.
I call heaven and earth to witness against you today: I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Choose life, that you and your seed may live,
to love the Lord your God, to hearken to his voice and to cleave to him; for this is your life and the length of your days, that you may dwell upon the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, to give to them.
