Isaiah 41:23 and Lamentations 3:38-39 corroborate that God bringing evil/bad = calamity, not moral evil
Supporting passages examined to reinforce the interpretation of Isaiah 45:7
Isaiah 41:23 challenges false gods to predict the future or do good or evil — demonstrating God's power by contrast. Lamentations 3:38-39 (KJV) asks rhetorically "Out of the mouth of the most high proceedeth not evil and good?" — but verse 39 clarifies this is about the punishment of sins, not moral evil God commits. The evil God brings is judicial calamity, like a just prison sentence: bad for the recipient, but not moral evil.
