Romans 9:19-21

Expanded Bible

¹⁹ So one of you will ask me: “Then why does God ·blame us for our sins [^Lblame; find fault]? Who can ·fight [resist; oppose] his will?” ²⁰ ·You are only human, and human beings have no right to question God [^LWho are you, a mere human being, to talk back to God?]. ·An object [or A thing molded] should not ask the ·person who made it [molder], “Why did you make me like this? [Is. 29:16; 45:9]” ²¹ ·The potter can make anything he wants to make [^LDoesn’t the potter have authority over the clay?]. He can use the same ·clay [^Llump] to make one ·thing [vessel; pot] for ·special [honorable] use and another thing for ·daily [common; dishonorable] use.
