Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the
Inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men
Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will
shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness
for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious
Anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers
And you will know
My name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee

… Ezekiel 25:17

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides
By the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men
Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will
Shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness
For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children
And I will strike down upon thee
With great vengeance and furious anger
Those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers
And you will know my name is the Lord
When I lay my vengeance upon thee

Love it when Jules starts the whole bible passage and you can see Vince getting his gun prepared and standing like he's in prayer.  Little things like that make this entire scene legendary

Not really. The part where the dude pulls his wallet out the bag and it actually says "Bad Mother Fucker" is pretty damn good too
