Its a variation of Ezekiel 25:17
the king James version:
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 Quentin version:
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities 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 the 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.

I can't believe this; Pulp Fiction is one of my favorite movies and I've watched it at least 50 times........I don't know the exact scripture but it's Ezekiel something but what he says is not what the Bible says I checked that out the first time I watched it
Sorry

Ezekiel 25:17
The Path of the righteous man is beset on all sides, by the inequities of the selfish, and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed are those, who in the name of charity and justice, shepard 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!

According to the film, it was Ezekiel 25:17, but that isn't a real bible passage. In the bible, it reads as:
"And I will execute great vengeance upon thee with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them."
This is actually a typically obscure reference to Karate Kiba / Chiba the Bodyguard, a 1976 film starring Sonny Chiba (whom Tarantino has hailed as "the greatest actor to ever work in martial arts films" and has worked with in the making of Kill Bill), which opens with a nearly identical misquote, likewise attributed to Ezekiel 25:17:
"The path of the righteous man and defender is beset on all sides by the iniquity 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 execute great vengeance upon them with furious anger, who poison and destroy my brothers; and they shall know that I am Chiba the Bodyguard when I lay my love upon them!"
Here's how it's delivered in the Pulp Fiction:
"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."

Miss Thang is right...but the bible verse is paraphrased...there are words and phrases that are present within Sam Jackson dialogue that are in the bibile verse, but if you read the bible verse itself, its a little different.
But the "vengence" point is made clear in both....
"And if you heard it...that meant yer a s s ..."

Everyone already replied, however god Sam Jackson is well in that function. Such a appear in his eyes..."...And you're going to recognise I am the Lord whilst I lay my vengeance upon you..." I critically desire his pockets from that movie.

He paraphrases Ezekiel 25:17...
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.
