Romans 9:13
Compare all
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.
17 For athe Scripture says to the Pharaoh, b“For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.”  
18 Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He ahardens.  
19 You will say to me then, “Why does He still find fault? For awho has resisted His will?”  
20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? aWill the thing formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?”
