Dr. Thomas Schreiner's notes Romans 9:13 can be interpreted as " Jacob have I chosen, but Esau have I rejected."
Then he states: "No one deserves his love. Why did he choose to set his love on Jacob and reject and hate Esau? It must be that he looked ahead and saw the Esau would choose Him, right? That's what we say to feel better about this passage. It's [really] based on God's election, which means i His /i choice -- sovereignty -- not based on what they'd do in the future. It's not based on works, but on God's powerful grace.
Why does God choose one over the another? The secret things belong to God. There are some things He reveals to us and some things He doesn't revel to us and one of those things He chooses not to reveal to us is who He chooses and why He chooses some over others.
He chooses whom He chooses for His glory. And we say, isn't it better for His glory to choose more? Apparently not ... IS there injustice on God's part? By no means. It's the same question everywhere. This is the question we all have [from reading this passage]. The very asking of the question shows that the interpretation I propose is on target because that's the burning question that we ask."
