The Bible teaches that God is 'Love' and not cruel to those who obey Him. It is aware of the cruelty in/of mankind and lists several occasions of it throughout. Here is a Proverb about the right way to live:

Proverbs 11:17

New International Version (NIV)

17 Those who are kind benefit themselves,

but the cruel bring ruin on themselves.

There will be a future date when God, Himself, will be cruel to sinning mankind:

Isaiah 13:9

New International Version (NIV)

9 See, the day of the Lord is coming

-a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger-

to make the land desolate

and destroy the sinners within it.

Jesus Commanded His followers to Love as He loved all of mankind - quite the opposite of cruelty IMHO:

John 13:34

New International Version (NIV)

34 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
