20 But who indeed are you, a human, to argue with God? Will what is molded say to the one who molds it, “Why have you made me like this?”(A) 21 Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one object for special use and another for ordinary use?(B) 22 What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience the objects of wrath that are made for destruction,(C) 23 and what if he has done so in order to make known the riches of his glory for the objects of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory— 24 including us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the gentiles? 25 As he also says in Hosea,

“I will call them ‘my people’ who are not my people;
and I will call her ‘my loved one’ who is not my loved one,”[b](K)
