Pulp Fiction, released in 1994 and directed by Quentin Tarantino, made the Ezekiel 25:17 speech one of cinema's most quoted monologues. Samuel L. Jackson performs it as Jules Winnfield moments before violence, loosely adapting the biblical passage for dramatic effect. The scene helped define the film's mix of pop culture, religion and crime, and the audio later spread across forums, edits and soundboards as a standalone clip. It remains popular because the delivery works without context, turning an ordinary moment into a threat.
About this sound
Samuel L. Jackson as Jules Winnfield delivers the Ezekiel 25:17 speech from Pulp Fiction, a chilling Bible quote used before intense movie moments.
This is the famous Ezekiel 25:17 monologue from Pulp Fiction, delivered by Samuel L. Jackson as hitman Jules Winnfield. His voice starts calm and measured, almost like a sermon, then builds in volume and intensity with each line about vengeance and fury. The passage is not a direct Bible quote but a dramatic invention for the film, and that slow rise from quiet confidence to righteous anger is what makes it so powerful. Played over a scene, it instantly adds menace, authority and cinematic weight before anything actually happens.
