The King James Version was written in 1600s English. The meaning of words have changed a lot over that time period. You can’t just say the meaning of the Bible changes because the English language has changed. That’s just stupidity. The modern translation of that word is closer to “calamity”
That’s neat. Meanwhile, explain to me how the “calamity” of the Great Flood was not evil, or how the “calamity” in Hell for all eternity is not evil, or how killing everyone on Earth who doesn’t bow to Jesus is not evil (Revelation), and so on.
He’s the source of all evil (and calamity), there is no evil without God. It’s stupid to think anything else. So stupid.
God says He is the source of all evil. Are you calling Him a liar? Your “talking point” is an absurdity.
Same reason as why sending someone to prison for committing murder isn’t evil. It is justice. Punishing evil isn’t evil. It’s Justice. And God is Perfect, therefore He’s Perfectly Just.
Thus says the Lord of hosts: I will punish the Amalekites for what they did in opposing the Israelites when they came up out of Egypt. 3 Now go and attack Amalek and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.”
Quite frankly, I find comfort in that the scum of this earth will be punished. I don’t need to bear grudges, as God would sort it out. The apocalypse is what this wretched race of people deserve. You see it in the news, we rape, kill and murder each other over lines on maps and money. We were given this earth by Him and we are actively destroying it. It’s actually so merciful of God to even let us live than to just end us all this very second.
If you’re talking about Job, Job makes it clear that it’s Lucifer who tortures people. Lucifer only tortures people when God lifts His protection. But in the end, Job was not only compensated on earth, but is in heaven. I doubt right now that thousands of years later, Job enjoying all of that thousands of years of glory really cares about what happened for those few short decades thousands of years ago.

Tell me more about punishing evil infants.
1 Samuel 15:2-3
He punished the evil infants? So what?
Tell me exactly how an infant can be evil and worthy of death.
Infants do bad stuff too. They lie and steal and are full of deceit
There’s no justice in Hell.
There’s no justice in the Apocalypse.
He’s perfectly evil, and He hangs out with Lucifer and makes bets and tortures people for sport.
He said so. Are you calling God a liar?
