Isaiah 45:7 - Scofield Reference Notes

Bible Comments

create evil

Hebrew, "ra" translated "sorrow," "wretchedness," "adversity," "afflictions," "calamities," but never translated sin. God created evil only in the sense that He made sorrow, wretchedness, etc, to be the sure fruits of sin.

Isaiah 45:7

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