Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

why therefore still ˱he˲_˓is˒_blaming ˱against˲_the for ˓the˒_counsel ˱of˲_him who ˓has˒_resisted

Paul is not asking for information, but is using these two questions here to express the objections that someone who opposes him might have to what he said in [9:14–18](../09/14.md). If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [Then he should not find fault with us! No one has ever been able to withstand his will!]
