Romans 11:33
31 so they too have now disobeyed, in order that they too may now receive mercy through the mercy shown to you.
32 For God has consigned everyone to disobedience so that He may have mercy on everyone.
O, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and untraceable His ways!
34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor?”
35 “Who has first given to God, that God should repay him?”
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
