Ruth, Naomi’s daughter-in-law, refuses to leave Naomi behind despite being from different places and having different beliefs. Ruth rises above the usual in-law tensions and swears loyalty to Naomi and to the God of Israel even in death. Even though her husband has passed, she still extends her unwavering love to his mother. This is the ultimate speech of faith and righteousness from someone who is seen as a foreigner.

This is the quote used by hitman Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson) in Pulp Fiction at the very end of the speech he delivers before taking out his victims. The beginning of his speech is not actually taken from Ezekiel:

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 you.

It’s interesting to notice the difference in tone between the King James Version and the Tarantino version.

Samuel Jackson also uses this passage quite effectively again in the dinner at ending scene:

It is typical of the ghazal form to reveal/mention the author’s name in the last line of the poem.
Interestingly, in Arabic Shahid means both “witness” and “martyr.”

This prohibits eating meat and dairy together. God was so serious about this that this rule is repeated two more times in Exodus 34:26 and Exodus 23:19.

tl;dr Thou shalt not eat cheeseburgers.
