Proverbs 16:4
The LORD hath made all things for himself:
Yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

Proverbs 16:9
A man's heart deviseth his way:
But the LORD directeth his steps.

Proverbs 20:24
Man's goings are of the LORD;
How can a man then understand his own way?

Proverbs 21:1
The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD,
As the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

Daniel 4:35 All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

James 4:13-15 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
Amos 6:12
Shall horses run upon the rock?
will one plow there with oxen?
for ye have turned judgment into gall,
and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:



But seemingly, by your application God is the one making them do it.

Each individual commits sins of their own accord, turning them into vessels of wrath. God has the liberty to either show mercy to that vessel of wrath or to utilize them according to His will. Regarding Pharaoh, God had the option to strike him down long ago, yet He opted to allow him to remain as the means through which He would demonstrate His power and strength.
This sounds like something out of a fiction novel
