Nowhere in the BIble does it directly say God predestined some for eternal damnation.

Romans 9:22 "What if God, willing to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience the vessels of wrath fitted for destruction..."

"Even the wicked for the day of evil" are foreordained to that purpose. Romans nine is an especially compelling passage dealing with God's purposes for men - both vessels of wrath and vessels of honor.
