If we read the Bible in its total canonical setting, it would seem that God is without evil or any pretense of evil. The text in question refers to physical evil. Thus the good is physical goodness and happiness, while the evil is physical distress, misfortune, calamity and natural evil, such as storms, earthquakes and other disasters. Even though much of the physical evil often comes through the hand of wicked men and women, ultimately God permits it. Thus, according to the Hebrew way of speaking, which ignores secondary causation in a way Western thought would never do, whatever God permits may be directly attributed to him, often without noting that secondary and sinful parties were the immediate causes of the disaster.
Natural evil is seen in a volcanic eruption, plague, earthquake and destructive fire.
To pose the question in this manner is to ask for the origins of evil. But Christianity's most difficult question is the origin of evil. Augustine taught that evil is not a substance. It is, as it were, a byproduct of our freedom, and especially of our sin. The effects of that sin did not fall solely on the world of humans.
