Romans 9:13

It is written: Jacob [who later receives the name Israel] I loved, but Esau I hated. [Malachi 1:2–3]
[The expression "hate" does not mean to hate mercilessly, but is a Hebrew expression of comparison where someone is chosen and thus becomes more loved. Esau is also blessed, see Gen. 27:39, and the Edomites, who are descendants of Esau, are a brother people to Jacob, see Deut. 23:7.
These two examples with Isaac and Jacob raise the question of whether God is truly just. In the third example, Paul shows that God has the right to show mercy and compassion to whomever He wants. The same principle is found in the parable Jesus told where all the workers in the vineyard received the same wage, and God has the right to show His goodness to whomever He wants, see Matt. 20:1–20.]
