Romans 9:19-29 - God's Anger And Mercy
19 Thou wilt then say to me, Why does he yet blame For who has withstood his will? 20 Surely, O man, who art thou replying against God? Shall the formation say to him having formed, Why hest thou made me so 21 Or has not the potter power over the clay, of the same mixture truly to make one vessel for honour, and one for dishonour 22 And if God, willing anger to be shown, and his power to be made known, endured in much long suffering the vessels of anger put in proper order for destruction: 23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory upon the vessels of mercy, which he before prepared for glory 24 Whom he also called us, not only from the Jews, but also of the nations? 25 As also he says in Hosea, I will call not my people my people; and the not loved, loved.
26 And it shall be, in the place where it was said to them, Ye not my people; there shall they be called the sons of the living God.
27 And Esaias cries for Israel, If the number of the sons of Israel as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved: 28 For finishing and cutting short the word in justice: for the Lord will make the word cut short upon the earth.
29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us seed, as Sodom had we been, and as Gomorrha had we been likened.
