"Can the Ethiopian change his skin
or the leopard his spots?
Then also you can do good
who are accustomed to do evil."

Jeremiah 13:23 proves one cannot choose good and therefore God. Man is unable to "choose" salvation.

..."though they were not yet born (speaking of Jabob and Esau) and had done nothing either good or bad—in order that God’s purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of him who calls- she was told, "The older will serve the younger." As it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."

Romans 9:11-13 exhibit's God's unconditional election of Jacob over Esau for no other reason that He deemed it so. This is following an explaination of Paul where we are told that not all who are the physical offspring of Israel or Abraham are actually God's people or Abraham's offspring. We are shown that from the people that God covenanted with, He soveregnly chose those who would serve Him.

I am pressed for time, but there is also the verse where God reserved for Himself an alottment of Israelites who had not bent their knee in worship of Ba'al, if anyone can find it.

Those are from the OT alone. There are more I can provide.
