Goes to show you how much he actually reads and knows about the Bible, I assumed all of us with access to a Bible looked up Ezekiel 25:17 after the first time we watched Pulp Fiction to see if Sam Jackson’s “cold blooded shit to say to a motherfucker” was a real verse.
For wickedness burns as the fire;
It shall devour the briers and thorns,
And kindle in the thickets of the forest;
They shall mount up like rising smoke.
Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts
The land is burned up,
And the people shall be as fuel for the fire;
No man shall spare his brother.
And he shall snatch on the right hand
And be hungry;
He shall devour on the left hand
And not be satisfied;
Every man shall eat the flesh of his own arm.
Manasseh shall devour Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh;
Together they shall be against Judah.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.
