Songs of the Righteous Within
Isaiah 24:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 24 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse contrasts distant songs praising the righteous with a personal lament of leanness and notes treacherous dealing, indicating a clash between outward praise and inward lack.
Neville's Inner Vision
From the Neville lens, this verse is a map of your inner state. The 'uttermost parts of the earth' and the songs are not distant voices; they are the far reaches of your own awareness acknowledging the righteousness you already are—the I AM alive in you. Your cry, 'my leanness' is the moment you forget this truth and feel deprivation as real. The line about 'treacherous dealers' is not about others out there; it is the inner habit of doubt and fear misrepresenting your state. When you dwell in lack, you consent to a broken image of yourself and your world; when you revise, you invite a new consistency of being. The glory spoken over the righteous is the inner chorus confirming your nature, and prophecy and judgment appear to tug you back to the certainty of I AM. Turning, then, is simply returning attention from lack to your divine self, choosing to inhabit and feel the song of righteousness right now as your living reality.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and declare: I am the righteousness that is praised; leanness dissolves as I assume fullness. Revise any memory of treachery by dwelling in the I AM, feeling right now that I am secure.
