Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth read from a Bible verse at his monthly Pentagon Christian prayer and worship service on Wednesday, with lines from Pulp Fiction that appear to have been falsely attributed to the Bible. 

According to Meidas News, Hegseth announced that he would read a prayer called "CSAR 2517," which stands for "Combat Search and Rescue," with the numbers alluding to the Bible verse Ezekiel 25:17. 

"It reads, and pray with me, please," Hegseth told the crowd.

"The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men," Hegseth prayed. "Blessed is he who, in the name of camaraderie and duty, shepherd 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," Hegseth continued. "And you will know my call sign is Sandy 1 when I lay my vengeance upon thee, and amen."

Fans of 90's cinema quickly caught on and recognized the verse as the Bible verse recited by Samuel L. Jackson's character in the Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary film Pulp Fiction. Jackson, who played a hitman, recited the lines before he executed his mark in the opening scenes of the movie. 

According to 9News, the second part of the verse is taken from the Bible, in a condemnation of the Philistines and the Cherethims who were foes of the Israelites in the 5th Century BC.

In recent months, Hegseth has been holding regular church services in the Pentagon. His Pulp Fiction verses come as House Democrats filed articles of impeachment against him. At least nine Democrats are accusing Hegseth of war crimes, abuse of power, and mishandling the Department of Defense. 

It's unlikely that an impeachment will proceed as Republicans hold a majority in both chambers of Congress.
