Romans 9:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

¹⁷ For the scripture saith to Pharao: To this purpose have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in thee, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.

¹⁸ Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will; and whom he will, he hardeneth.
