Deuteronomy 15:9
New International Version
9 Be careful not to harbor this wicked thought: “The seventh year, the year for canceling debts,(A) is near,” so that you do not show ill will(B) toward the needy among your fellow Israelites and give them nothing. They may then appeal to the Lord against you, and you will be found guilty of sin.(C)
Romans 9:15-24
English Standard Version
15 For he says to Moses, (A)“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” 16 So then it depends not on human will or exertion,[a] but on God, who has mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, (B)“For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” 18 So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.
19 You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For (C)who can resist his will?” 20 But who are you, O man, (D)to answer back to God? (E)Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 (F)Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump (G)one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? 22 What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience (H)vessels of wrath (I)prepared for destruction, 23 in order to make known (J)the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he (K)has prepared beforehand for glory— 24 even us whom he (L)has called, (M)not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles?

Romans 9:15-24
New International Version
15 For he says to Moses,
“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”[a](A)
16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.(B) 17 For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”[b](C) 18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.(D)
19 One of you will say to me:(E) “Then why does God still blame us?(F) For who is able to resist his will?”(G) 20 But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God?(H) “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it,(I) ‘Why did you make me like this?’”[c](J) 21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?(K)
22 What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience(L) the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction?(M) 23 What if he did this to make the riches of his glory(N) known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory(O)— 24 even us, whom he also called,(P) not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?(Q)

Jonah 4:1-4

Jonah's Anger and the Lord's Compassion
4 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly,[a] and (A)he was angry. 2 And he prayed to the Lord and said, “O Lord, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? (B)That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a (C)gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and (D)relenting from disaster. 3 (E)Therefore now, O Lord, please take my life from me, (F)for it is better for me to die than to live.” 4 And the Lord said, (G)“Do you do well to be angry?”
