Hosea 9:11-16 Inner Birth

Hosea 9:11-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Hosea 9 in context

Scripture Focus

11As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
12Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!
13Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
14Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
15All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.
16Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.
Hosea 9:11-16

Biblical Context

The verses depict Ephraim's fading glory and a harsh judgment where life seems barren, signaling that misalignment in inner life produces outer loss and fruitlessness. It points to the deeper truth that your inner state births your reality.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the inner vantage, Hosea speaks of Ephraim as a state of consciousness that loves a pleasant place while neglecting the soil of inner birth. Glory flies away when awareness identifies with birth and womb and conception as external figures, for the I AM withdraws when you cling to forms. The exile and the weeping womb signal a shift of feeling: when you fear depopulation, you cut off your own fruitfulness. Yet the verse points not to punishment but to the correction of perception: you have been using your life like a field that will not bear without aligning with the life within. The dried root is your belief that you are separate from the supply and the Source of life. When you revise, you return to the sacred soil, to the inner God within who births worlds from intention. The 'beloved fruit of the womb' is your cherished outcomes, not a curse, but a sign that you have forgotten your oneness with the I AM. Rise in consciousness, accept the end as already fulfilled and let your imagination awaken to a living unity of purpose and presence.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the end: imagine a scene where your life bears fruit effortlessly, as already accomplished. Feel the I AM birthing it through you, and quietly declare, 'I am the source; I dwell in the promised land of my being.'
