Here's another:

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

Isiah 45:7

In the land of intellectual adulting, however, people who know their history know the cult of YHWY, originally a single god from what was the Canaanite pantheon, clear evidence of which is still present in even the Old Testament, subsumed the mythological roles of protector and catastrophe, hero and villain, creator and destroyer in its path to monotheism.
