Numbers 14:8

8 If ^athe Lord delights in us, he will bring us into this land and give it to us, ^ba land that flows with milk and honey.

Deuteronomy 4:37

37 And because ^che loved your fathers and chose their offspring after them ^{▼▼Hebrew his offspring after him} and brought you out of Egypt ^ewith his own presence, by his great power,

Deuteronomy 7:7-8

7 It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the Lord set his love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples, 8 but ^fit is because the Lord loves you and is keeping ^gthe oath that he swore to your fathers, that the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

Romans 9:13-23

14 What shall we say then? ⁱIs there injustice on God’s part? By no means! 15 For he says to Moses, ^j“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, ^{▼▼Greek not of him who wills or runs} but on God, who has mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, ^l“For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” 18 So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.

19 You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For ^mwho can resist his will?” 20 But who are you, O man, ⁿto answer back to God? ^oWill what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 ^pHas the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump ^qone vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? 22 What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience ^rvessels of wrath ^sprepared for destruction, 23 in order to make known ^tthe riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he ^uhas prepared beforehand for glory—
