Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth reads fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction

During a public appearance, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recited a prayer that he presented as a Bible verse. The prayer was drawn from a misquoted version of Ezekiel 25:17. The passage is famously known from its use in the film *Pulp Fiction*. The incident involved a high-ranking government official using a fictionalized version of scripture in a public setting. The event has drawn attention due to the discrepancy between the presented source and the actual text.
