11. Yet, before they were born or had done any good or evil – in order that the purpose of Elohim, according to choice, might stand, not of works but of Him who calls –
12. it was said to her, “The greater shall serve the lesser,”
13. as it has been written, “Ya‛aqoḇ I have loved, but Ěsaw I have hated.”
14. What, then, shall we say? Is there unrighteousness with Elohim? Let it not be!
15. For He says to Mosheh, “I shall favour whomever I favour, and I shall have compassion on whomever I have compassion.”
16. So, then, it is not of him who is wishing, nor of him who is running, but of Elohim who shows favour.
