But rather, O man, who are you who answer back to God? Shall the thing molded say to him who molded it, Why did you make me thus? ²¹Or does not the potter have authority over the clay to make out of the same lump one vessel unto honor and another unto dishonor? ²²And what if God, wishing to demonstrate His wrath and make His power known, endured with much long-suffering vessels of wrath fitted for destruction, ²³In order that He might make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He had prepared unto glory

— Romans 9:20-23
