I can see how this would not generally be considered a plus or attribute of God. The truth of the matter is God can be down right vengeful and spiteful. especially to those who do not belong to Him. This is indeed a good example of this. that said the p[assage does not imply god puts evil in the heart of men. But rather is raining evil down on those who oppose his servant Cyrus. If you think this is bad wait till you hear about Moses and pharaoh at the Red Sea crossing.

It is very cute that you should speak of “god” with a such an adult like knowing air as if god actually exists to be known.
