it does not depend on human desire or exertion,
but on God who shows mercy.

9:18 So then,
God
has mercy on whom he chooses to have mercy, and he hardens whom he chooses to harden.

Exodus 33:19

Exodus 34:6-7
34:6 The
Lord passed by before him and proclaimed:
“The
Lord, the
Lord,
the compassionate and gracious
God, slow to anger,
and abounding in loyal love and faithfulness,
34:7 keeping loyal love for thousands,
forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin. But he by no means leaves the guilty unpunished, responding to the transgression
of fathers by dealing with children and children’s children, to the third and fourth generation.”
Isaiah 27:11

women come and use them for kindling.
For these people lack understanding,
therefore the one who made them has no compassion on them;
the one who formed them has no mercy on them.
Micah 7:18
7:18 There is no other God like you!
You forgive sin
and pardon the rebellion
of those who remain among your people.
You do not remain angry forever,
but delight in showing loyal love.
