Curtis M. Wong “Pete Hegseth Quoted A Bible Verse. Turns Out It Was A Rip-Off Of ‘Pulp Fiction.’” https://www.huffpost.com/entry/pete-hegseth-pulp-fiction-bible-verse_n_69e0e4d2e4b09c96f93e9391
Richard Luscombe “Hegseth channels his inner Tarantino with fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/16/hegseth-pulp-fiction-ezekiel-prayer
４月15日、ピート・ヘグセス米国防長官*1がペンタゴン内の礼拝集会で、旧約聖書『エゼキエル書』のつもりで、クエンティン・タランティーノの映画『パルプ・フィクション』*2のサミュエル・ジャクソンの科白を引用して、祈りを捧げていた。
『ハフィントン・ポスト』の記事によれば、ヘグセスは次のように言った；
また、『エゼキエル書』と『パルプ・フィクション』との比較；
“The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men,” Hegseth said in part. “Blessed is he who, in the name of camaraderie and duty, shepherds the lost 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 capture and destroy my brother, and you will know my call sign is Sandy 1 when I lay my vengeance upon thee.”
In “Pulp Fiction,” Jackson portrays hit man Jules Winnfield, who offers a similar declaration before shooting a man to death.“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men,” he says. “Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and goodwill, 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. And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.”
The actual Ezekiel 25:17 passage as it appears in the King James Bible is significantly shorter than both Hegseth’s and Jackson’s, reading simply: “And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.”

映画の科白を覚えているなんて凄いという誉め言葉は余りない。
