Ezekiel 25:17
Samuel L Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
The lyrics of Samuel L. Jackson's song "Ezekiel 25:17" are quite powerful and insightful. The song is actually a recitation of a Bible verse, with Samuel L. Jackson speaking in the role of a righteous man invoking God's wrath upon those who seek to harm his brothers. The verse speaks to the difficulties that any good-hearted person faces in a world beset by evil and selfishness.
The imagery is particularly visceral, with the path of the righteous man being beset on all sides by the inequities of others. The righteous man is described as being blessed, as he cares for the weak and lost in the valley of darkness. It is a call to arms, a rallying cry for those who seek to live their lives with purpose and to do good in the world.

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
gunshot, gunshot, gunshot, gunshot, gunshot, gunshot,gunshot, gunshot, gunshot

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
