Romans 9:10-12
New Testament for Everyone
10 And that’s not all. The same thing happened when Rebecca conceived children by one man, our ancestor Isaac. 11 When they had not yet been born, and had done nothing either good or bad—so that what God had in mind in making his choice might come to pass, 12 not because of works but because of the one who calls—it was said to her, “the elder shall serve the younger.”

New International Version
10 Not only that, but Rebekah’s children were conceived at the same time by our father Isaac.(A) 11 Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad(B)—in order that God’s purpose(C) in election might stand: 12 not by works but by him who calls—she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”[a](D)
