[h=1]Ezekiel 25:17New International Version (NIV)[/h][FONT="]17 I will carry out great vengeance on them and punish them in my wrath. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I take vengeance on them.’”It's not a real verse. Tarantino dreamed it up as a cobbled together bunch of themes and reworked them into the monologue that he believed best expressed the drama intended for that scene.
He pulls themes from Ezekiel 34, Psalm 23, and Genesis 4.
We aren't righteous and they aren't immoral. God doesn't care if we win or where our recruiting class is ranked. And he certainly didn't send Moses down from Mt. Sinai with the NCAA rule book. You people who use Christianity to validate your sports allegiances sicken me almost as much as the holocaust and paisley neck ties. It was despicable when Hugh Freeze cherry picked bible verses to further his propaganda and so it is now when you're doing it.
No doubt. I wasn't implying you were incorrect, I was just providing the actual verse for those who only "heard it" from Pulp Fiction. Good work. Carry on.You left out nearly two thirds of the verse he quotes.
Do you see any reference in Ezekiel 25:17 to poisoning my brothers or shepherding the weak or the path of the righteous or the tyranny of evil men? No. Because those themes were globed together and loosely tied into 25:17. It's a close but no cigar moment.
But that isn't really the point though. The whole scene comes about in the ultimate redemption of Jacksons character in the end. That's where the themes have to be twisted and combined to make that whole scene work.
