Romans 9:19-29 - God's Anger And Mercy
19 Wilt thou then say to me, Why yet doth he blame us? Who hath resisted his will? 20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that disputest against God? Shall the thing fashioned say to him that fashioned it, Why hast thou made me thus? 21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, from the same mass to make one vessel for an honourable use, and another for a dishonourable? 22 But what if God, willing to display his wrath, and to make known what is possible with him, hath borne with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted for perdition: 23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon the vessels of mercy which he had before prepared for glory: 24 even us, whom he hath called, not only out of the Jews, but out of the Gentiles? 25 As also he saith in Hosea, "I will call her which was not my people, my people; and her which was not beloved, beloved.
26 And it shall be in the place where it was said unto them, ye are not my people; there shall they be called the sons of the living God."
27 But Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, "Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: 28 for he will finish the account, and cut it short in righteousness: because a concise account will the Lord make on the earth."
29 Even as Isaiah had said before, "Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left unto us a seed, we should have become as Sodom, and been made like unto Gomorrha."
