What film is this Bible quote from?

In which film is this Bible quote used, by the lead male actor? (Give folks a chance to see it, so that there isn’t a spoiler, of sorts!) Also…which actor speaks the quotation?

“Cursed be the ground, for our sake. Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth, for us, for out of the ground we were taken for the dust that we are… and to the dust we shall return.”

Grapes of Wrath?

I reckon it was from The Book of Eli with Densel Washington as Eli.

My guess would be Jesus of Nazareth.

I think that’s right LD… :+1:

Anything to do with Hebrews and the original name of Eli, then I’m your rabbi :wink:
My inherited curiosity forced me to get the DVD as soon as I saw it in a charity shop, 2 discs for £1. It was a fairly good film, but Garry Oldman gave the best performance IMO.

Jason and the Argonauts :question:

Jason

But then Gary Oldman always puts in a strong performance.

I enjoyed the film albeit was rather bleak, as all dystopia films are, but I loved the twist at the end when Oldman finally got his hands on the book…:slightly_smiling_face:

It’s from Genesis 3:18 and was in the Eli film.
