Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth meant to invoke holy scripture in discussing the rescue mission of an American fighter pilot stranded in Iran — but he actually quoted Quentin Tarantino.

In a prayer delivered by Hegseth during a Pentagon worship service on Wednesday, he read a fake Bible verse from Tarantino’s 1994 “Pulp Fiction.” It was the altered version of Ezekiel 25:17 that is righteously delivered by Samuel L. Jackson’s character in the movie just before he shoots a man to death.
