Not in Job 1:8-12 and 2:3-6, if Satan is an angel. for Satan is shown as
taking the initiative in proposing a course of action, although he
requires God's permission to carry it out. Similarly with the snake in
Genesis 3:1-5, where God's permission may be implicit. These are the
action of a being with free will making his own decisions. Anyway,
anything else makes God the author of evil.
