Romans 9:19

God's Anger And Mercy

¹⁸ So then, He has mercy on whom He wills (chooses), and He hardens [the heart of] whom He wills. ¹⁹ You will say to me then, “Why does He still blame me [for sinning]? For who [including myself] has [ever] resisted His will and purpose?” ²⁰ On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers [arrogantly] back to God and dares to defy Him? Will the thing which is formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?”
