Romans 9:20-26 But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is formed say to him who formed it, "Why have you made me like this?"

Common⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is formed say to him who formed it, "Why have you made me like this?" ²¹ Does not the potter have right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honor and another for dishonor? ²² What if God, choosing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, ²³ in order to make known the riches of his glory for the vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory, ²⁴ even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles? ²⁵ As indeed he says in Hosea: "I will call them who were not my people 'my people,' and her who was not beloved I will call 'my beloved.'" ²⁶ "And it will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' they will be called 'sons of the living God.'"
