10 And not only this, but when aRebecca also had conceived by one man, even by our father Isaac
11 (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of aHim who calls),
12 it was said to her, a“The older shall serve the younger.”
13 As it is written, a“Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.”
Israel’s Rejection and God’s Justice
14 What shall we say then? aIs there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not!
15 For He says to Moses, a“I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.”
16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.
