11 before her sons were born, and had not wrought good or evil, the (choice) of Aloha was (made) known before that it should remain: not by works, but by him who called:
12 for it was said, The elder shall be servant to the less;
13 as it is written, Jakub have I loved, and Isu have I hated.
14 What then say we? Is there iniquity with Aloha? Not so:
15 behold, also, he said unto Musha, I will have mercy upon whom I will have mercy, and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious.
16 Therefore it is not by him who willeth, nor by him who runneth, but by Aloha the Merciful.
17 For it is said in the scripture to Pherun, For this I have raised thee up, that I might show in thee my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.
18 Then upon whom he willeth he is merciful, and whom he willeth he hardeneth.
19 Perhaps thou wilt say, Of what then doth he complain; for who shall arise against his will?
20 Who then art thou, O man, who givest answer against Aloha? Will the mass say to him who formeth it, Why thus hast thou formed me?
21 Or, hath not the potter power over his clay, that from the (same) mass he might make vessels, the one to honour, and the other to vileness?
22 BUT if Aloha, willing to reveal his wrath, and to make known his power, in his much patience bore with the vessels of wrath who were perfected for destruction,
23 and poured his mercy upon the vessels of mercy who were prepared of Aloha for glory,
