“Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?”
But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? 'Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, Why did you make me like this?' — Paul invokes the creation analogy (τὸ πλάσμα, to plasma, "what is formed"; ὁ πλάσας, ho plasas, "the one who formed") from Isaiah 29:16 and 45:9. The creature cannot interrogate the Creator's purposes. The potter's prerogative (κέραμος, keramos) is absolute.
