Romans 9:19-29 - God's Anger And Mercy
19 Thou wilt say then, Why doth he yet blame us? who hath resisted his will? 20 Nay but, O man, who art thou, that disputest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus? 21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, out of the same mass to make one vessel to honor and another to dishonor? 22 And what if God, though resolved to shew his displeasure at last, and to make known his power, yet bore with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction? 23 and that He might make known the riches of his glory in the vessels of mercy, which He hath prepared for glory? 24 whom He hath also called, even us, not only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles. 25 As He saith also in Hosea, I will call them my people, who were not my people, and her beloved, who was not beloved.
26 And in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, there shall they be called the children of the living God.
27 And Esaias crieth out concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant shall be saved. 28 For in finishing the account and cutting it short in righteousness, the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.
29 And as Esaias said before, "Except the Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and we had been made like unto Gomorrah."
