Sorry for being a party pooper, but the passage that Samuel L. Jackson used in Pulp Fiction isn't really a bible passage.

Ezekiel 25:17 actually states, "And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them."

While this one sentance is close, everything preceeding that is pure Quentin Tarantino. There are 16 sentances that really have no bearing to the lines from the movie.

BTW, I loved that scene in Pulp Fiction... Actually, I loved the entire movie.

The relationship between Jackson and Travolta was perfect. They were partners and dime store philosophers and had something approaching friendship ... but they developed just the right amount of an increasing annoyance with one another. It was an authentic depiction of what happens when two egomaniacal guys who have nothing but work in common are stuck with each other way too long. They are two great actors. The dialogue was over the top as usual for Tarantino, but he's a great director.

Dang it, I had a feeling I should know better than to trust Quentin Tarantino... My apologies to all... I am not someone who is a stranger to the bible and I should have checked it out.
