Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and goodwill, 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!”
Jackson captioned the post, “YOU KNOW I STILL GOT IT!!! EZEKIEL 25:17 ? HAPPY 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF PULP FICTION.”
