For he tells Moses, I will show mercy to whom I will show mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.  

On the contrary, who are you, a human being, to talk back to God?  Will what is formed say to the one who formed it, “Why did you make me like this? ”

So then, he has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy and he hardens whom he wants to harden.

Or has the potter no right over the clay,  to make from the same lump one piece of pottery for honor and another for dishonor?
