By His Will... and By His Will...
At his will… and at his will…; when he wants he does … and when he wants he does … — figuratively: he does whatever he wants.
("For behold, like clay in the hand of the potter, by His will He expands and by His will He contracts; so are we in Your hand, kindness is preserved, to the covenant secure, and do not turn to the inclination" - the liturgical poem 'For Behold Like Clay' recited on Yom Kippur.)
