Again, this proves that God’s choice doesn’t depend on how badly someone wants it or tries to earn it, but it depends on God’s kindness and mercy.

He had every right to say to Moses: “I will be merciful to whomever I choose and I will show compassion to whomever I wish.”

But who do you think you are to second-guess God? How could a human being molded out of clay say to the one who molded him, “Why in the world did you make me this way?”

So again we see that it is entirely up to God to show mercy or to harden the hearts of whomever he chooses.

Or are you denying the right of the potter to make out of clay whatever he wants? Doesn’t the potter have the right to make from the same lump of clay an elegant vase or an ordinary pot?
