"3If you shall go with the ordinances of Me and you shall guard the commandments of Me and you shall do them, 4I will also give the rain to you in the time of it, and the land shall give the fruits of it, and the trees of the fields shall give the fruit of them" (Leviticus 26:3-4 translated by Arsenia R. Joaquin from the Septuagint).
"11And I will set the covenant of Me in you, and the psyche of Me shall not abominate you; 12and I will walk in you and I will be God of you, and you yourselves will be people of Me...
14’And if you shall not obey Me nor do these ordinances of Me, 15but you shall disobey them and the judgments of Me the psyche of you shall vomit so as for you not to do all the commandments of Me so as to break the covenant of Me, 16and I Myself will do thus to you and I will set on you the perplexity and the itch and the fever and they shall be wasting the eyes of you and they shall consume the psyche of you, and you shall sow the seeds of you through emptiness, and the adversaries of you shall eat; 17and I will set the face of Me against you, and you shall fall before the enemies of you, and the men who hate you shall pursue you, and you shall flee of no one pursuing you." (Leviticus 26:11-17 translated by Arsenia R. Joaquin from the Septuagint).
"... 27And if on these you shall not obey Me and you shall go with Me contrary, 28I Myself will also go with you in fury in contrary and I Myself will train you seven times according to the sins of you, 29and you shall eat the flesh of the sons of you and you shall eat the flesh of the daughters of you..." (Leviticus 26:27-29 translated by Arsenia R. Joaquin from the Septuagint).
Do you know of any other whoever who dares to say things such as these? What can you say about the pronouncements of God?

An awful God! And who should not be afraid of Him? Look at what He will do if we do not obey Him. He showed to us Himself in the Old Testament and God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. If we do not obey Him, He will really throw us into hell. God is always good and because He is good, He is just, and because He is just, He would not give the same reward to the godly and the ungodly.

I understand what God is saying. But why is it that it's very difficult to follow even if people would like to follow for what God are saying are really very good and if we do not obey, we will receive the corresponding punishment. I should like to obey but it seems that I cannot obey. There's no other one who could say things like these. He is God and no man can ever say such things.

First of all I would like to commend you on the wonderful translation of these verses. I also love how you translate the verses literally from Greek to English. So many versions of the Holy Bible are in the market nowadays and only your translation is not interpreted in a subjective manner.
The God of the Christian talks in a manner so comforting and at the same time alarming. Comforting for those that follows His commands and alarming for those who disobey Him.

I don't think any other whoever could dare to say things such as these. God is awesome. What else could I say? The pronouncements are fearful if we do not obey. But if we obey, God will take care of us, He will be our God and we will be His people.

Please bear in mind that these things were said to Israel. The covenant is for Israel. And as far as I'm concerned only someone from the Jewish faith could understand these lines.
