Though I am lowly and despised, I do not forget your precepts. Your righteousness is everlasting and your law is true. - Psalm 119:141-142

Just as it is written: 'Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.' - Romans 9:13

they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. - 2 Thessalonians 2:10-11

...in order that God's purpose in election might stand: not by works but by him who calls—she was told, "The older will serve the younger. Just as it is written: "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated." What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy. - Romans 9:11-16
