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

Exactly how does this mean "discipline" and "I don't create evil"? 

"You're taking it out of context!"  "It doesn't say what you think it does!"  "You should read the translation!"

Any deity capable of creating the entire universe, with billions of galaxies, should be able to write a book that CAN'T be taken out of context or mis-translated.

So, you think we should set aside that this is obviously poetry. Set aside the fact that evil is defined as the deprivation of good (and therefore not a thing that can be created). Set aside that this was not written in english. And conclude instead that this lone poetic clause in a poetic verse in a poetic chapter changes the whole nature of reality. You can go with that. I'm going to look at it on context.
