Deuteronomy 30:2
1 “When all these things come upon you—the blessings and curses I have set before you—and you call them to mind in all the nations to which the LORD your God has banished you,
and when you and your children return to the LORD your God and obey His voice with all your heart and all your soul according to everything I am giving you today,
3 then He will restore you from captivity and have compassion on you and gather you from all the nations to which the LORD your God has scattered you.
4 Even if you have been banished to the farthest horizon, He will gather you and return you from there.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
