God is jealous, and may deal with His own creation as He sees fit, and if there is some aspect of His creation that He deems worthy to destroy, from the human point of view, when it comes, it appears that God is acting in a malevolent way toward His people.
This is what causes a lot of people to dismiss the Bible and the God of the Bible, because they've been led to believe something about God and the Bible that isn't true. Sinners seem to think they have the right to judge God for the things in the Bible they find unpalatable or unbecoming of God, instead of fearing Him and repenting lest God do unto them as He did unto those He destroyed in ages past.
