Romans 9:20-21

20On the contrary, who are you, 1O man, who 2answers back to God? 3The thing molded will not say to the molder, “Why did you make me like this,” will it?

21Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel 4for honorable use and another 5for common use?
