Pulp Fiction / Ezekiel

[JesusCow]

ok, for those that have seen Pulp Fiction. when samuel l. jackson's character quotes Ezekiel from the Bible ("...and god shall strike down..." or something), what chapter verse is that? it is Ezekiel right??

thanks in advance

Ezekiel 25:17, KJV: 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.

 

[Platypus]

yes, but its not a real quote.

Thanks! however, my bible is a bit different, "I will execute great vengence upon them with wrathful chastisements. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I lay my vengence upon them"

<< yes, but its not a real quote. >>

what do you mean?

 

[Platypus]

You just proved it. Its a made up quote in the movie. The exact thing he says is not in the bible, its been modified.

 

[Modeps]

it can be translated many ways. yes it is a real quote.

 

[Modeps]

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengance and furious anger, those who attempt to poision and destroy my brother. And you will know my name is the LORD when I lay my vengence upon thee. - PF

 

[JesusCow]

Yeah,Tarantino hacked that verse up quite a bit. I remember grabbing for the bible straight away to check that.
