Hosea 9:14-17 Inner Return

Hosea 9:14-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Hosea 9 in context

Scripture Focus

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.
17My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
Hosea 9:14-17

Biblical Context

Hosea 9:14–17 frames Israel's punishment as spiritual barrenness tied to false worship and disobedience. The outer exile mirrors an inner drought of life and direction.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner theater of your being, Hosea’s words reveal that the so-called curse of fertility is a feedback loop of belief. Gilgal represents ritual without a living connection to the I AM; when you worship forms instead of the Life within, the root dries and fruit withers. Exile and wandering are the mind’s way of signaling you have wandered from consciousness, not from a geographic place. Yet this is not punishment but an invitation to revise. You are the I AM, the living root and the fruit of all life. When you stop clinging to outward proofs and listen for the inner voice, the drought dissolves and return becomes natural. The so-called enemies are the lingering habits of separation you momentarily entertain; when you acknowledge your oneness with God, the wanderers dissolve into a single, harmonious sea of ISness. The moment you revise your sense of self as separate, you will find that God never cast you away; you cast away the illusion, and life returns with fullness and fruit.

Practice This Now

Imagination practice: close your eyes and say, 'I am the I AM, the root and the fruit of all Life.' feel the inner life nourishing your mind; revise the sense of exile by declaring your return to the inner temple, where fruitfulness and abundance are your natural state.
