Rishon [1st]:
29:10You stand this day all
of you before ADONAI your G-d; your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, even all the
men of Yisra'el, 29:11your little ones, your wives, and your foreigner who is in the midst of your camps, from the one who cuts
your wood to the one who draws your water; 29:12that you may enter into the covenant of ADONAI your G-d, and into his oath, which ADONAI
your G-d makes with you this day;
Sheni [2nd]:
29:13that he may establish
you this day to himself for a people, and that he may be to you a G-d, as he spoke to you, and as he
swore to your fathers, to Avraham, to Yitzchak, and to Ya`akov.
29:14Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath, 29:15but with him who stands here with us this day before
ADONAI our G-d, and also with him who is not here with us this day
Shlishi [3rd]:
29:16(for you know how we
lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which you passed;
29:17and you have seen their
abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them);
29:18lest there should be among you man, or
woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turns away this day from ADONAI our G-d, to go to serve the
gods of those nations; lest there should be among you a root that bears gall and wormwood;
29:19and it happen, when he
hears the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have shalom, though I walk in
the stubbornness of my heart, to destroy the moist with the dry. 29:20ADONAI will not pardon him, but then the anger of ADONAI
and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book shall lie on him, and
ADONAI will blot out his name from under the sky.
29:21ADONAI will set him apart to evil out of all the tribes of Yisra'el,
according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law.
29:22The generation to come, your children who shall rise up after you, and the foreigner who shall come from
a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses with which ADONAI has made it
sick; 29:23and
that the whole land of it is sulfur, and salt, and a burning, that it is
not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows therein, like the overthrow of Sedom and `Amorah, Admah and Tzevoyim,
which ADONAI overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
29:24even all the nations shall say, Why has ADONAI done thus to this land?
what means the heat of this great anger? 29:25Then men shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of ADONAI, the G-d of their fathers,
which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt,
29:26and went and served other gods, and
worshiped them, gods that they didn't know, and that he had not given to them:
29:27therefore the anger of ADONAI was
kindled against this land, to bring on it all the curse that is written in this book;
29:28and ADONAI rooted them out of their land
in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as at this day.
29:29The secret things belong to ADONAI our G-d; but the things that are revealed belong to us
and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
R'vi'i [4th]:
30:1It shall happen, when all
these things are come on you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you shall call them to
mind among all the nations, where ADONAI your G-d has driven you,
30:2and shall return to ADONAI your G-d,
and shall obey his voice according to all that I command you this day, you and your children, with all your heart,
and with all your soul; 30:3that then ADONAI your G-d will turn your captivity, and have compassion on you, and will
return and gather you from all the peoples, where ADONAI your G-d has scattered you.
30:4If any of your
outcasts are in the uttermost parts of the heavens, from there will ADONAI your G-d gather you, and
from there will he bring you back: 30:5and ADONAI your G-d will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall
possess it; and he will do you good, and multiply you above your fathers. 30:6ADONAI your G-d will circumcise your heart,
and the heart of your seed, to love ADONAI your G-d with all your heart, and with all your soul, that
you may live.
Chamishi [5th]:
30:7ADONAI your
G-d will put all these curses on your enemies, and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.
30:8You shall return and obey
the voice of ADONAI, and do all his mitzvot which I command you this day.
30:9ADONAI your G-d
will make you plenteous in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your cattle,
and in the fruit of your ground, for good: for ADONAI will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over
your fathers.
30:10If you shall obey the voice of ADONAI your G-d, to keep his mitzvot and
his statutes which are written in this book of the law; if you turn to ADONAI your G-d with all your
heart, and with all your soul.
Shishi [6th]:
30:11For this
mitzvah which I command you this day, it is not too hard for you, neither is it far off.
30:12It is not in heaven,
that you should say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it to us, and make us to hear it, that we may do
it? 30:13Neither is
it beyond the sea, that you should say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, and make us to hear
it, that we may do it? 30:14But the word is very near to you, in your mouth, and in your heart, that you may do it.
Shvi'i [7th]:
30:15Behold, I have set
before you this day life and good, and death and evil;
30:16in that I command you this day to love ADONAI your G-d, to
walk in his ways, and to keep his mitzvot and his statutes and his ordinances, that you may
live and multiply, and that ADONAI your G-d may bless you in the land where you go in to possess it.
30:17But if your
heart turn away, and you will not hear, but shall be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
Maftir [concluding]:
30:18I denounce to
you this day, that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land, where you pass over the
Yarden to go in to possess it.
30:19I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, the
blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your seed;
30:20to love ADONAI your G-d, to
obey his voice, and to cleave to him; for he is your life, and the length of your days; that you may dwell in the
land which ADONAI swore to your fathers, to Avraham, to Yitzchak, and to Ya`akov, to give them.

Yesha‘yahu (Isaiah) 61:10-63:9
61:10I will greatly rejoice in ADONAI,
my soul shall be joyful in my G-d;
for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
61:11For as the earth brings
forth its bud,
and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth;
so ADONAI G-d will cause righteousness
and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
62:1For Tziyon's sake will I not hold my shalom,
and for Yerushalayim's sake I will not rest,
until her righteousness go forth as brightness,
and her yeshu`ah as a lamp that burns.
62:2The nations shall see
your righteousness,
and all kings your glory,
and you shall be called by a new name,
which the mouth of ADONAI shall name.
62:3You shall also be a crown
of beauty in the hand of ADONAI,
and a royal diadem in the hand of your G-d.
62:4You shall no more be
termed Forsaken;
neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate:
but you shall be called Cheftzi-Bah, and your land Beulah;
for ADONAI delights in you, and your land shall be married.
62:5For as a young man
marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you;
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your G-d rejoice over you.
62:6I have set watchmen on your walls, Yerushalayim;
they shall never hold their shalom day nor night:
you who call on ADONAI, take no rest,
62:7and give him no rest,
until he establish,
and until he make Yerushalayim a praise in the earth.
62:8ADONAI has sworn
by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength,
Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies;
and foreigners shall not drink your new wine, for which you have labored:
62:9but those who have
garnered it shall eat it, and praise ADONAI;
and those who have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.

Romans 9:30-10:13
9:30What shall we say
then? That the Goyim, who didn't follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness
which is of faith; 9:31but Yisra'el, following after a law of righteousness, didn't arrive at the law of righteousness.
9:32Why? Because they didn't
seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;
9:33even as it is written,
"Behold, I lay in Tziyon a stumbling stone and a rock of offense;
And no one who believes in him will be disappointed."
10:1Brothers, my heart's
desire and my prayer to G-d is for Yisra'el, that they may be saved.
10:2For I testify about them that they have a
zeal for G-d, but not according to knowledge.
10:3For being ignorant of G-d’s righteousness, and seeking to
establish their own righteousness, they didn't subject themselves to the righteousness of G-d.
10:4For Messiah is the
fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. 10:5For Moshe writes about the righteousness of the law, "The
one who does them will live by them." 10:6But the righteousness which is of faith says this, "Don't say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into
heaven?' (that is, to bring Messiah down); 10:7or, 'Who will descend into the abyss?' (that is, to bring Messiah up from the dead.)"
10:8But what does it say?
"The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart;" that is, the word of faith, which we preach:
10:9that if you will confess
with your mouth ADONAI Yeshua, and believe in your heart that G-d raised him from the dead, you will
be saved. 10:10For
with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
10:11For the Scripture says,
"Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed."
10:12For there is no
distinction between Yehudi and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him.
10:13For, "Whoever will call
on the name of ADONAI will be saved."
Messianic Jews (Hebrews) 12:14-15
12:14Follow after shalom
with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see ADONAI,
12:15looking carefully lest there be any man
who falls short of the grace of G-d; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and
thereby the many be defiled;
