19. You will say to me, "Then why does Hashem still find fault? For who has resisted His will?"
20. On the contrary, who are you, a human being, to answer back to G-d? VEYETZER AMAR LEYOTZRO ("Can the pot say to the potter" YESHAYAH 29:16), "Why have you made me thus?"
21. Or does the potter not have the right over the clay [YIRMEYAH 18:6] to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use?
22. But what if naniach (supposing) Hashem, willing to demonstrate His Charon Af Hashem (burning anger of G-d) and to make known His ko'ach (power)[1:18,16], put up with and endured with zitzfleisch (patience) vessels which are objects of G-d's Charon Af (burning anger), objects made ready for Churban [9:3],
23. And in order that He might make known the wealth of His kavod (glory) on vessels which are objects of Hashem's chaninah (mercy, free grace) which He prepared beforehand for kavod? [8:29-30]
24. By which I mean us, whom also He called, not only from the Yehudim but also from the non-Jews,
25. As it says in Hoshea, V'AMARTI L'LO AMMI AMI ATAH ("And I will call the 'not my people' my people" HOSHEA 2:25 [23]) and the 'not loved' loved;
26. "And it shall be in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' there they shall be called B'NEI EL CHAI ("sons of the living G-d-HOSHEA 2:1)"
