The author of κακά


I am the one who once fashioned the light and made the darkness
the one who presently makes peace and creates calamity
I the Lord God am the one who does all these things

ἐγὼ ὁ κατασκευάσας φῶς καὶ ποιήσας σκότος
ὁ ποιῶν εἰρήνην καὶ κτίζων κακά
ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ ποιῶν ταῦτα πάντα

-- Isaiah 45:7 (LXX)
 
but he that doeth evil hath not seen God
 
ὁ δὲ κακοποιῶν οὐχ ἑώρακεν τὸν θεόν

-- III John 1:11
