Romans 9:12-16 English Standard Version (ESV)

12. she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”

13. As it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”

14. What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God’s part? By no means!

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.”

16. So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy.
