Pulp Fiction Bible Verse

Anybody know what Samuel L. Jackson's character recites before the 'I am the tyranny of evil men' part? That whole speech is so iconic but I'm fuzzy on the full quote.

That would be Ezekiel 25:17, which Samuel L. Jackson's character recites. It's not actually a full, direct Bible quote; the 'path of the righteous man' part is adapted from a few different passages and a lot of Hollywood flair. It's a great example of how pop culture can remix scripture for dramatic effect. For a story that plays with that kind of dark, celestial irony in its own way, 'PROTECTED BY THE DEVIL' has its protagonist bound in a desperate contract to a powerful demon for survival, which creates an interesting tension around who exactly is offering salvation and at what cost.

What Is the “Pulp Fiction” Bible Verse? Explained

In Pulp Fiction (1994), Jules Winnfield—played by Samuel L. Jackson—delivers a striking monologue he calls “Ezekiel 25:17.” However, the version he recites is not a direct quote from the Bible. Instead, it’s a stylized, fictionalized version crafted by Quentin Tarantino and screenwriter Roger Avary for dramatic effect.

Here’s the version from the movie:

“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men... And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers…”

While memorable, this passage is not found verbatim in any Bible translation. The actual text of Ezekiel 25:17 (KJV) is much shorter and reads:

“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.”

The movie’s version blends this verse with themes from other biblical passages, creative license, and dialogue inspired by a Japanese action film, The Bodyguard (1976), where a similar creed is recited. Tarantino adapted it to give Jules a pseudo-religious, philosophical persona.

Key Takeaway:
The “Pulp Fiction Bible verse” is a fictional monologue loosely based on Ezekiel 25:17, designed for dramatic storytelling—not scriptural accuracy.
