Romans9:19

19. Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will ?

Here he obviates a Third Objection or Cavil. The First was, That God is unfaithful, ver. 6. The Second, That God is unjust, ver. 14. Now the Third is, That God is severe and cruel. Some might object and say, If God, in those Courses which He takes with Men and Sinners, doth follow only his own will and pleasure; and all things are done thereafter. Why then doth He complain of Sinners▪ and find Fault with them? It seems it is his will to reject them; and, Who hath Resisted, or can make Resistance thereunto? It seems to be a common Saying amongst the Hebrews, That none can withstand God, vid. 2. Chron. 20.6. (& alibi.)
