Psalm 19:7-11

English Standard Version

⁷^(A)The law of the Lord is perfect,^[a]
    ^(B)reviving the soul;
^(C)the testimony of the Lord is ^(D)sure,
    ^(E)making wise ^(F)the simple;
⁸^(G)the precepts of the Lord are right,
    rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is ^(H)pure,
    ^(I)enlightening the eyes;
⁹the fear of the Lord is clean,
    enduring forever;
the rules^[b] of the Lord are ^(J)true,
    and righteous altogether.
¹⁰More to be desired are they than ^(K)gold,
    even much ^(L)fine gold;
^(M)sweeter also than honey
    and drippings of ^(N)the honeycomb.
¹¹Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
    ^(O)in keeping them there is great reward.

Romans 9:14-21

English Standard Version

¹⁴What shall we say then? ^(A)Is there injustice on God's part? By no means! ¹⁵For he says to Moses, ^(B)“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” ¹⁶So then it depends not on human will or exertion,^[a] but on God, who has mercy. ¹⁷For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, ^(C)“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.” ¹⁸So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.

¹⁹You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For ^(D)who can resist his will?” ²⁰But who are you, O man, ^(E)to answer back to God? ^(F)Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?” ²¹^(G)Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump ^(H)one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use?
