DOES GOD CREATE EVIL? “I WILL NOT PITY”

Will God kill innocent people on purpose?

Luke 21:20-24

God is speaking of the destruction of Jerusalem and Judah that he will bring about because Israel has gone after Baal and the grove. When God brings judgment on Jerusalem and Judah he will have pagan sweaty greasy Babylonian soldiers to rip the women up that are pregnant and have the babies bashed to pieces in the streets of Jerusalem.

God will cause mothers to be ripped up and the babies' brains to be bashed in.

Hosea 13:16

Hosea says Israel has rebelled against God and that they will fall by the sword. The mothers will be ripped up that are with child and the babies will be dashed in pieces. God says I will cause the Assyrians to kill my people, the Israelites, in this manner. I will have no pity. They have not kept my statutes and commandments. They have forsaken my law for Molech, Baal, the grove, Venus, etc. I will destroy them. I will have no mercy. God will have men to kill unborn babies.

Jeremiah 2:1-2, 17, 21

God says he will cover Jerusalem in a cloud of anger and cast down the beauty of Israel in his anger. He had no pity when he caused the Babylonian chariots to run through Jerusalem and slaughter by the sword, the people of Judah. The young and old will lie dead in the streets and God said, "I have not pitied" when I caused your slaughter by the Babylonian soldiers. God did not say Nebuchadnezzar hath not pitied. He said I will not pity when I raise up the heathen as my sword (Psalms 17).

Lamentations 3:43

Jeremiah says, "God you have covered us with anger. You've persecuted and killed us in horrible ways and you have not pitied."

Deuteronomy 7:16

God commands believers to have no pity on idol worshippers.

Psalms 103:13

God says he only has pity on those that fear him.

Deuteronomy 13:6-8

God says to Moses if a man thrusts you out of the narrow way, even if he is your brother, that you are to have no pity on him. If he tries to lead you after other gods of false doctrine you are to kill him. God is getting his eye for an eye in America. When men go after false doctrines, God's judgments are sword, famine, pestilence and Beast. Pestilence and famine are upon the world and God has brought out the sword (or gun) in this nation and he is causing a nation to turn on one another. All the killings in America are certainly the judgment on rebellious nation and God will have no pity on, even, the innocent. God worked this way in Israel and now he is working this same way in America. The worst is yet to come.

Deuteronomy 19:13, 21

Premeditated murderers shall receive no pity but shall die and a false witness shall receive life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. God is pouring out his anger and judgments upon America. He will not pity.

Proverbs 19:17

 We are to pity the poor and downtrodden.

Rape - God will cause it

Isaiah 13:9, 11-18

The day of the Lord will come with wrath and fierce anger. God will cause the Persians and Medes to slaughter and butcher the Babylonians. God will see that the children are dashed in pieces, their houses destroyed and the women shall be raped, all being the will of God -- and people say God doesn't create evil. They say he will not do these things in judgment of rebellion.

God will kill babies.

Jeremiah 13:1-10, 13, 14

Because Israel goes after their imagination and other gods, God says I will make men collide with one another and I will not pity nor spare nor have mercy but shall destroy the priests and prophets of Israel. Some will say that God will not have mothers kill their children or have serial killers to come in multitudes. Did God kill David's innocent baby (II Samuel 12:15-18). Yes, because of David's sin of adultery and murder. God will not pity.

God will have mothers killed

.Jeremiah 15:1-14

Because of Israel's apostasy following other gods and false doctrine God says I will remove them to all the kingdoms of the earth (and when he did it, God caused millions to die; many were innocent babies in the womb). God said I will not have pity on Jerusalem. God said I have brought upon the mother of the innocent young the spoiler at noonday. A mother of 7 children shall die at the hands of this invading army of Babylonians. The 7 children will remain orphans and God will do it because of rebellious sin. He will not pity. Its coming America.

God will maim those who are his leaders who live ungodly.

Jeremiah 21:7-10

God says because of Israel's rebellion I will bring the king of Babylon against Zedekiah and deliver Zedekiah into Nebuchadnezzer's hands - God will do it - he will have Zedekiah's sons killed before his very eyes then have him blinded and carried away in chains (II Kings 25:7). Will God kill or have innocent people killed? You can believe the promise of his word that he will kill without pity and without mercy, the nation that preaches false doctrine and turns away from truth.

God causes slaughter.

Ezekiel5:5-17

Thus saith the Lord because Israel hath changed my judgments into wickedness because they defiled his sanctuary God says I will diminish thee I will not spare I will not pity God says I will accomplish my fury upon them when I call in the king of Babylon to destroy them in a great slaughter. I have arranged it. Yes God will have the Ted Bundys and David Berkowitzs to go out and kill mercilessly. He will have mothers kill their children (Matthew 10:35-37; Luke 12:49-53).

God will destroy his people because of their idolatry.

Ezekiel 7:4, 9

God tells Israel because of their rebellion and going after idols (Baal and the grove) that he will send the sword, famine, pestilence and beast. He will not pity when he sends his anger in the form of these judgments. He will pour out his fury and accomplish his anger on Israel. God will kill people.

God can be provoked to anger, rage, and fury by his people.

Ezekiel 8:17, 18

Israel hath filled the land with violence. They have committed abominations and provoked me to anger. God says I will deal in fury mine eye shall not spare I will not pity.

God will cause slaughter.

Ezekiel 9:5, 10

Six men come with slaughter weapons in hand to wreck havoc on Jerusalem. One clothed in Linen and a writer's inkhorn in his hand. God tells him to make a mark on those who mourn over the sin of Jerusalem. The others go after and kill them do not spare or pity. 

Ezekiel 36:21

God said when I bring Israel back I will have pity only for my Holy name -- I do not this for you Israel.

Joel 2:18

When a people are repentant then God will be merciful and have pity.

Zechariah 11:6

I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land.

I Create Evi

lIsaiah 45:7

I form light (truth) and create darkness (sin) I make peace and create evil. I the Lord do all these things.

Genesis 2:9

God made the tree of knowledge of good and evil and the tree of life, thenGod made man subject to vanity, but not of his own will (Romans 8:20).

Evil - 7451 ra - bad, evil, evil men opposite of good calamity (Is it a calamity when international thugs and pirates commandeer an airline and murder everyone on board). God causes it and creates it. He said so.

Does God make men evil and cause evil to enter them? Let's see if he does.

I Samuel 16:14-16, 24

Four times God says, "An evil spirit from the Lord entered Saul."

I Samuel 18:10

The evil spirit from God entered Saul.

God will cause adultery and sexual immorality.

II Samuel 12:11

(words of Nathan to David) I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house. I will take thy wives and give them to thy neighbor (II Samuel 16:21, 22 God caused Absolam to commit adultery with David's wives in the sight of Israel (God will do evil. He will cause men to commit adultery)). Certainly God will make one person sin over another.

God tells Israel I will cause you to eat your children. I will make you to become cannibals. God will cause cannibalism.

Deuteronomy 28:49, 53-57 - Lamentations 2:20

Women shall eat their children when I put you in the siege. 

Ezekiel 5:10

Fathers shall eat their sons.

Lamentations 4:10

The children were the food in the destruction of Israel that God brought on them.

God will cause cannibalism. He says I will cause this!

Jeremiah 19:9

I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters and the flesh of their friend in the siege. God says I will cause Israel to involve themselves in cannibalism. People say that God will not cause men to sin and kill the innocent. God says I will not only cause my people who have forsaken me to kill their innocent, I will cause them to eat their young and innocent. Is America killing their innocent with hypocrisy, crime, drugs, knives (drowning their innocent), etc.? The worst is coming (II Kings 6:24-32).

The wicked shall be turned into hell and all nations that forget God.

Psalms 9:17

Has America forgotten God? There is no way to measure the cruelty God is bringing on America. Will God cause David Berkowitz to kill mercilessly without pity and a mother to drown her five children mercilessly in a bathtub in Texas? This is only the beginning for this Godless nation.

God will cause cannibalism.

II Kings 6:33

Behold this evil is of the Lord (this evil of cannibalism in the previous verses).

God will cause the killing of children. God kills children.

I Kings 17:20

Elijah says that God brought evil upon the widow by killing her son. Elijah says God kills children! 

I Kings 21:21

Elijah the prophet of God speaks for God, "Behold I will bring evil upon thee" concerning Ahab's wickedness. Then he prophecies the death of all of Ahab's "innocent" sons.

I Kings 21:29

Because Ahab humbled himself God said I will not bring the evil in his days but I will bring the evil in his son's days.

God will make men "lie"

I Kings 22:23

Behold the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets

II Kings 21:12

Thus saith the Lord I am bringing such evil on Jerusalem whosoever heareth of it both his ears shall tingle I will wipe Jerusalem clean as a man wipeth a dish wiping it and turning it upside down. When God does it as he said he would at the hands of his servant Nebuchadnezzer, millions will die in the process. God will use a pagan king with swords, bows and arrows, knives, spears etc. What is the difference whether God sends a pagan king or a bunch of serial killers with .357 magnums in their hands? They're all killers and murderers that God is using to perform his will and judgments. God's dishrag was Nebuchadnezzer which he used to wipe Jerusalem clean.

II Kings 22:16, 20

Thus saith the Lord I will bring evil upon this place - God tells Josiah, you will not see all the evil that I will bring: I will bring this evil after you are gone.

God kills innocent men.

II Samuel 24:16When God gave David a choice of the evil that he would bring on David because he had numbered Israel (seven years of famine, flee three months before your enemies, three days pestilence) David chose three days pestilence. God killed 70.000 "innocent" men who had done nothing to deserve to die. When the angel stretched out his hand over Jerusalem to destroy it the Lord turned from the evil he was doing and said "It is enough." God says this is the price David owes me for his sin of merely numbering the people and taking credit with his great army of 1,800,000. God is saying "It’s not your numbers that did it David. It was my power." 70,000 dead is punishment. It is the price I require for your pride.

God sends disease by pestilence and plague to kill because of rebellious pride.

I Chronicles 21:15

This is the 1st Chronicles version on II Samuel 24 where God sends pestilence on Israel because David numbered Israel. The Bible says God sent pestilence. People say God won't make people sick. In this same text the Bible says after God killed 70,000 innocent Israelites, God turned (repented) from the evil that he was doing. God does evil.

II Chronicles 7:19-22

God warns Solomon that if he turns away from God's statutes to serve other gods that the Lord God will bring evil upon Israel by causing the ruling empires of Assyria and Babylon to come into Israel and slaughter them. God does evil.

God causes men to lie - lying is sin.

II Chronicles 18:22

The Lord put a lying spirit into these thy prophets - God causes lies. God does evil.

II Chronicles 34:24, 28

Thus saith the Lord, Behold I will bring evil upon this place - even all the curses that are written in the book because Israel hath forsaken me. God says, "I will bring evil upon Judah and Jerusalem and destroy them because they went after other gods. God does evil.

Nehemiah 13:17, 18

Nehemiah contends with the nobles of Judah. Because Israel (in the Kings) had rebelled against God, God had scattered them putting them in captivity in Babylon. Nehemiah rebuilds Jerusalem 70 years later and the people come to the gates of Jerusalem in preparation to defile the Sabbath and rebel against God once again. Nehemiah speaks to them. "Did not your fathers thus and did not our God bring all this evil upon us and upon this city."

Nehemiah's reference to the evil that God did is talking about the sacking and burning of Jerusalem 70 years before, along with raping and pillaging. Nehemiah said, "God did that." God did that evil of destroying his people by the hands of evil men.

Job 1:21, 22

After all Job's substance was destroyed, his servants killed, his seven sons and three daughters killed, Job gave God credit for all this evil when he said "The Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord." The word name is the word shem meaning character or authority. Job said blessed be God's authority that destroyed me. Then the Bible in verse 22 verifies Job's words: "In all this Job sinned not nor charged God foolishly." The Bible says when Job talks about me in this case he tells the truth about me. God says here "I killed Job's children and destroyed all his substance."

Job 2:9, 10

After God has Satan smite Job, Job's wife says to Job, "Curse God and die." She did not say curse Satan and die. She knew this judgment was from God. Job replies to her, "What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God and shall we not receive evil?" Job says evil comes from God. The last sentence in verse 10 verifies these words of Job about God bringing evil: "In all this did not Job sin with his lips." God is saying here, "Job tells the truth about me, I bring evil."

Job 30:26

Job speaks concerning his predicament "When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there come darkness." Theprecedent for this verse is set in Job 1:22 and Job 2:10 and that is, this evil in 30:26 comes from God.

Job 42:11

The Bible speaks; "Job's brothers, sisters and acquaintances comfort Job over all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him.

Isaiah 45:7

I form light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

God says light, darkness, evil and peace are a direct result of his divine power. When we do evil it is sin - when God creates evil it is righteous. When Smith & Wesson manufactures a gun they are not murderers. When a man with murder in his heart with a desire for a gun, purchases one and kills, he is a murderer. The difference is that when God creates evil the very nature of man (that God created) cannot keep from performing it. When God says he does all things in this verse, this is corroborated in Ephesians 1:11, I Thessalonians 5:18, Romans 8:28 Ecclesiastes 3:14 and much more. God calls the righteous to cease from evil but the vessel of wrath he causes to do the necessary evil for the good of the saints: Psalms 17:13, 14; Psalms 76:10 - The wrath (poison, rage) of man shall praise thee; the remainder (residue) of wrath shalt thou restrain. David says here that man's poison, rage, anger, and wrath shall praise God and the part that will not praise God, God keeps man from performing it.

Jeremiah 1:14

Jeremiah is the last major prophet in Israel - God repeatedly tells all the prophets and kings of Israel that God will scatter Israel by the Beast (Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome - Daniel 7, Hosea 13, Revelation 13:2) which is like a lion, bear, and leopard. This prophecy is emphasized in Deuteronomy 28 when God gives Israel the covenant and continues all through the prophets and history of Israel.

Deuteronomy 28:15-25: God says, "If you do not hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes these curses will God bring upon you - The Lord shall cause thee to be smitten (burned, pillaged, raped, murdered, women ripped up. babies slaughtered) -- thou shalt be removed (carried captive) into all the kingdoms of the earth. This is the prophecy of the deportation and slaughter of Israel in 722 B.C. because of Baal and grove worship. It is also the prophecy of the removal of southern Judah (southern Israel) in 586 B.C. by Nebuchadnezzer king of Babylon. God caused them (Babylon) to come and slaughter and butcher Israel because of their apostasy. On the part of Babylon this murder, rape and pillaging is sin that God orders them to do. Jeremiah the last great prophet before Israel's captivity in Babylon is crying in the streets of Jerusalem, "Nebuchadnezzer is coming to bring judgment, God is bringing him". This verse in Jeremiah 1:14, 15 says, "Then the Lord said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land of Judah (all the Assyrian armies and Babylonians attacked from the north - east of Israel was hundreds of thousands of square miles of desert - west of Israel is the Mediterranean). In verse 15 of Jeremiah 1, God says he is the one bringing this evil (Babylonian armies) - "For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the North (Babylon), saith the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem — against the walls and against the cities of Judah." Verse 16 - (By this Babylonian multitude) "I will utter my judgments against Israel concerning all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and burned incense to other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands. God is saying through the voice of Jeremiah I will bring rape, murder, pillaging, pregnant mothers ripped up. innocent babies killed by having these dirty, sweaty. Babylonian soldiers to pillage, rape and slaughter the Israelites. God is arranging in the minds of these Babylonian pagans to commit the most horrendous sins against Israel (God creates sin!). All of Jeremiah's words in the following verse in the book of Jeremiah are about God's judgments: the sword, the famine, the pestilence, the beast (Babylon and Assyria). God says I will bring and do this evil.

Jeremiah 2:3

(refer back to Jeremiah 1:14) evil shall come upon Israel, saith the Lord(the precedent already set) - God says I am the one who brings this evil. I do evil!

Jeremiah 4:6 (refer back to Jeremiah 1:14)

God speaking, "I will bring evil from the north and a great destruction."

God says I will do this evil on Judah and Jerusalem.

Jeremiah 6:1

God warns the tribe of Benjamin in southern Judah "Flee from the midst of Jerusalem for evil appeareth out of the North, and great destruction." Verse 6 - God speaks what he is doing - "Thus hath the Lord said (to the king of Babylon), Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount (to pile up dirt and make a road up the walls) against Jerusalem - God is instructing Nebuchadnezzer to do this evil to Jerusalem.

Jeremiah 6:19

God speaks, "Hear, O earth, I will bring evil upon this people (of Judah)."God says I do evil to Israel; they are rebellious people.

Jeremiah 11:11

Thus saith the Lord, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape. God says I do evil.

Jeremiah 11:22, 23

Thus saith the Lord, I will punish them (Judah and Jerusalem): the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine: — I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth (another name for Israelites). God says again I do this evil to Israel.

Jeremiah 16:10

The people of Israel shall cry out, "Wherefore hath the Lord pronounced all this evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?" The people are acting innocent and playing dumb as though they don't know. They do recognize that this evil is from God. God does evil! See following verses.

Jeremiah 18:8

If a nation repent (which they won't because God has their hearts fixed so he can call the Gentiles to him as prophesied by Isaiah who lived before Jeremiah - He will begin to call "all flesh" in Acts 2), I will turn from the evil that I thought to do unto them.

Jeremiah 18:10

God says if a nation obey not my voice I will turn away from the good where I said I would benefit them. Good and evil come from God

Jeremiah 18:11

God tells Jeremiah to go to Jerusalem and say "Thus saith the Lord. I frame (mould, potter, determine) evil against you, and devise a device against you — God says the evil against Jerusalem is something I determine like a potter molding a dish.

Jeremiah 19:3

Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle (reference II Kings 21:12, 13 - I am bringing evil upon Jerusalem and Judah that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle). God does devastating barbarous evil to his people when he punishes them with evil men.

Jeremiah 21:10

God speaking: "For I have set my face against this city for evil (speaking of Jerusalem) and not for good and it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon (whose armies shall rape, pillage, murder and kill women and babies -- and it will be the will of God).

Jeremiah 23:11, 12

Both prophet and priest (of Jerusalem) are profane; yea, in my house (the temple) have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord — for I will bring evil upon them saith the Lord.

Jeremiah 23:17

Jeremiah warns against the false teachers who say "Ye shall have peace." These false prophets will walk after the imaginations of their own hearts and say. "No evil shall come upon you." They will say, "God will not send evil on any one." Nebuchadnezzer is not coming. The slaughter of women being ripped up with child and babies' brains being dashed out against the walls and streets of Jerusalem is not going to happen. False teachers will say God doesn't do those kinds of things. This is evil false teaching to say that God will not create and do evil against his people to punish them (read the following verses). God says I will bring evil!

Jeremiah 24:3-5

God says to Jeremiah, "What do you see?" Jeremiah says, "I see the very good figs and the very evil figs; they are so evil." God says to Jeremiah "Like these good figs, I will acknowledge them that submit to the king of Babylon and they are carried away captive - I send Israel out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans (Babylonians) for their good. All this death and destruction will be for the good of the believers (Romans 8:28 all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose).

Jeremiah 25:29

For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished?

God is saying here that the evil that I bring will be punishment for Jerusalem because they have not kept my statutes and law. They have gone after other gods (Baal, the grove, Molech, Chemosh, etc.). God says I do evil for my reasons.

Jeremiah 26:3

God tells Jeremiah to stand in the court of the Lord's house. Tell everyone that comes from the cities of Judah all the words that I command and do not diminish the words in any fashion. Here is what you shall say, "If you hearken and turn from your evil, I will turn (repent) from the evil which I purpose to do unto you because of the evil of your doings." God says when I cause the Babylonians to slaughter you and kill your pregnant women and innocent babies, pillaging and burning carrying you naked into captivity in shame it will be because of your rebellion.

Jeremiah 26:13

Amend your ways and doings and the Lord will turn from the evil that he hath pronounced you. God has already pronounced this evil that he willdo.

Jeremiah 26:19

Micah pronounces the judgment of God on Zion and Jerusalem. They will be plowed like a hill and become heaps. Yet Hezekiah did not put him to death. He feared the Lord and sought the Lord and God turned from the evil which he had pronounced against them. Then Jeremiah says referring back to Hezekiah's humility, "Thus might we procure great evil against our souls." He was saying we will cause great evil to come from God if we do not fear and seek him. God brings evil men against Ms children as swords to cut them down and cause them to repent. Then he destroys the sword. God does evil.

Jeremiah 32:23

Jeremiah says that God gave Israel this land flowing with milk and honey. He says they came into the land, possessed it and they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing that thou commanded them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them. Jeremiah is saying mat God gave Israel the land when they come out of Egypt. This came about during the book of Judges. They went after Baal and the grove in the 2— chapter and continued for 300 years under Judges. Then from their first king Saul to their last king Zedekiah they continually went after the Sun (Baal) and the moon goddess (grove - Venus) and lived in complete disobedience to God. Jeremiah says because of this rebellion God caused all this evil to come upon Judah.

Jeremiah 32:32

God tells Jeremiah because of all the evil of Israel they have provoked me to anger - when God released his anger, rage and fury, he destroyed Israel. He did evil to them.

Jeremiah 32:42

For thus saith the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great evil on this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them. God says I bring evil at disobedience and good for obedience. God says I do good and evil.

Jeremiah 35:17

Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel; Behold. I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them (the great slaughter and destruction of Jerusalem): because I have spoken unto them, but they have not heard; and I have called unto them, but they have not answered. God says I will bring evil for rebellion.

Jeremiah 36:3

It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them. Purpose is a Hebrew word (chashab) that means plait, weave or fabricate. God says I will fabricate evil against Israel for their wickedness.

Jeremiah 36:30, 31

Thus saith the Lord of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost (his body shall be desecrated in shame) - and I will punish him and his seed and his servants for heir iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them.

God says in verse 29 because Jehoiakim burned the 1st book (scroll) of Jeremiah which said the king of Babylon would come and destroy this land - because of this disdain in casting off God's instructions. God will bring all this evil on Jehoiakim.

Jeremiah 39:16

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished in that day before thee.

While Jeremiah was shut up in prison because of his words he says these words to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian. Then he says that God will deliver Ebedmelech. God does evil!

Jeremiah 40:2

Nebuzaraden, captain of Nebuchadnezzer's said to Jeremiah, "The Lord thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place (Jerusalem).

Jeremiah 42:10

Jeremiah called the princes of Israel and Judah and all the people unto him saying, "If ye will not abide in the land, then will I build you and not pull you down, and I will plant you and not pluck you up for I will repent (turn) of the evil that I have done unto you."

Jeremiah 42:17

God says that everyone who tries to escape going into Babylon (where he insists they shall go) by fleeing to Egypt, they shall die by the sword, famine and pestilence, that none shall escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.

Jeremiah 44:2, 3

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein -Because of their wickedness (going after Baal and the grove ignoring God's laws) which they have committed to provoke me to anger, when they went to serve other gods -- God said I brought this evil and destruction on Judah.

Jeremiah 44:11

Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel; Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah.   The next verse 12 tells us: "I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt; they shall even be consumed by the sword and by the famine: they shall die, from the least to the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration (curse), an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach." God says I am the one who will set his face to do all this evil.

Jeremiah 44:23

God says because of all your evil and rebellion against me therefore all this evil has happened to you (your destruction by Babylon including the killing of unborn babies and slaughter of women etc.). God says, "and I have done it."

Jeremiah 44:27

Behold, I will watch over them (Israel) for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them - God had Jeremiah repeatedly warn Judah that if they fled to Egypt for refuge during this siege of Judah that God would have them chased down and killed or they would die by famine. If they went peacefully to Babylon where God has ordered that they shall live for 70 years and build houses and plant vineyards, then he would save them alive. God says when you try to run away from my judgments men I will watch over you to do evil unto you. This is a message to his people Israel, the church.

Jeremiah 44:29

And this shall be a sign unto you, saith the Lord, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil:

Jeremiah 45:5

Behold I will bring evil upon all flesh (in Israel)

Jeremiah 49:37

I will bring evil upon them (Elam - descendents of Shem), even my fierce anger, saith the Lord: and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them.

In chapter 51 Jeremiah speaks of all the evil that God is going to bring upon Babylon because they destroyed Israel and God caused them to perform this evil. We don't reason this out. God says it and we believe it.

Jeremiah 51:24, 25

I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion (that I caused them to do) in your sight, saith the Lord - I am against thee, O destroying mountain, that destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and make thee a burnt mountain (a burned capital city (Revelation 18)).

Jeremiah 51:60

So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon (that God said he would do), even all these words that are written against Babylon.

Jeremiah 51:64

(God says that he will cast Babylon into the Euphrates) And thou shalt say Jeremiah, "Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her."

Lamentations 3:37, 38, 39

Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good? God says here when evil and good is commanded it comes from the mouth of God.

Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? Jeremiah is saying, "Why is a man complaining about all the evil that God is bringing upon him? It is punishment for his sins."

Lamentations 2:17

After Judah is destroyed and carried away into captivity, they are in Babylon captive. They were carried away naked and in chains after a slaughter that God had arranged leaving a million or more (according to some historians) dead in the fields and in the streets.   Jeremiah is lamenting and weeping because of this sad situation in which his people are found. He speaks in verse 17, "The Lord hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he (God) hath caused thine enemy (Babylon) to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn (figurative word for power) of thine adversaries (God caused the power of their enemies to overthrow and destroy them).

Ezekiel 5:5-17

God speaks of Jerusalem's rebellion and idolatry: I have set her in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her (speaking of her captivity - 586 B.C.). They have refused to walk in my judgments and my statutes (verse 6). Because you've done all this idolatry and rebellion (verse7) I am against thee, and will execute judgments in your midst in the sight of all nations (so all can see how I take vengeance on those, my people, who rebel). Verse 8 - I will do in thee that which I have not done (destroying you). Verse 9 - I will make the fathers eat the sons and the sons eat their fathers (cannibalism - verse 10) - neither will I pity. Verse 11 - I will scatter a third part to the winds, and I will draw a sword after them. Verse 12 - Mine anger shall be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them. I the Lord hath spoken (arranged) it, when I have accomplished my fury in them (verse 13) -- I will make thee waste (desolation, desolate) and a reproach (verse 14). I the LORD have spoken (arranged) it - verse 15. When I (the Lord) shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you (verse 16). So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken (arranged) it (verse 17). Does this sound like God will do evil?

Ezekiel 6:10-11

They shall know that I am the Lord, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them. For they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. God says, "All this evil I will bring upon Judah."

Ezekiel 7:5, 8

Thus saith the Lord God; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come (on Judah). God has already set the precedent. He has done all this evil. I shortly pour out my fury upon thee.

Ezekiel 14:21, 22

God says I will send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, the noisome (evil) beast (Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome) and the pestilence, to kill off (cut off) man and beast. Ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem. Does this sound like God will send evil in the form of starvation, disease and conquering armies?

Daniel 9:12

Daniel says concerning Judah's (southern Israel) captivity, "God is bringing on us a great evil."

Daniel 9:13, 14

As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us. Therefore hath the Lord watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: in all his works that he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice. Evil comes from God upon his people. He brings it because of disobedience (Ephesians 2:2).

Joel 2:13

God says when his people repent of their wickedness then he will turn from the evil he has been doing to them.

Amos 3:6

Shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?

Amos 9:4

God says concerning Israel, "I will set mine eyes upon them for evil and not for good."

Jonah 3:10

God repented (turned) of the evil that he had planned to do to Nineveh, when they repented. God uses evil men to execute judgment on his people. Only if they repent does God turn from executing the evil.

Micah 1:12

Evil came down from the Lord.

Micah 2:3

Thus saith the Lord against this family do I devise an evil.

Zephaniah 1:12

God says, "I will punish the men of Jerusalem who say the Lord will not do good, neither will he do evil." God says he will be against and punish men who will not attribute evil to him. Say that God will not do evil when you rebelliously reject truth, then evil will come upon you.
