It wasn't.
It was from the movie, Pulp Fiction. Specifically, it was the speech Samuel L. Jackson's character recites before executing an unarmed man. Tarantino wrote those lines himself.
They are not in any Bible. They are in a Quentin Tarantino movie.
The actual Ezekiel 25:17 has one sentence. The rest, including "the path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men," was invented for a 1994 film about hit men eating hamburgers.
"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. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."
The Secretary of Defense [War] read a fictional hit man's execution speech to bless an actual war."
“Grant this task force clear and righteous targets for violence,” he prayed last month.
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God" (Matthew 5:9).
What the Secretary of Defense did was quote a Hollywood movie's words about violence and killing as scripture, and he ignored the actual words of his Savior, Jesus Christ.
Are we great yet?
