US EditionUS Defence Secretary quotes fake Bible verse from ‘Pulp Fiction’ during speech
The Pentagon said Hegseth recited a custom prayer used by Sandy 1 crews, and acknowledged it was inspired by dialogue from Pulp Fiction.
- On Wednesday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recited a prayer at a Pentagon worship service that he attributed to Ezekiel 25:17, though it closely mirrored a fictional monologue delivered by Samuel L. Jackson in the 1994 film Pulp Fiction.
- Hegseth stated the "CSAR 25:17" prayer was recited by Sandy 1 pilots during a combat search and rescue mission in Iran earlier this month, claiming it reflected the biblical verse Ezekiel 25:17.
- During Thursday's The Late Show, host Stephen Colbert mocked the recitation, playing clips from Pulp Fiction to highlight similarities and calling the prayer "fishy" while noting Hegseth's misidentification of the source.

- Critics contrasted the recitation with the actual biblical text of Ezekiel 25:17, which reads, "And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes," sparking debate over mixing fictional dialogue with military worship.
