Neville Goddard on Isaiah 59:3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 59 in context

Scripture Focus

3For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.

Isaiah 59:3

Biblical Context

Isaiah 59:3 speaks of inner defilement manifesting as outward conduct—defiled hands, iniquitous fingers, lying lips, and muttered perverseness. It points to the inner state rather than mere behavior.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Isaiah’s vision, defilement is a symptom of consciousness. Your hands are defiled with blood because you act from fear and the belief in separation; your fingers carry iniquity because decisions arise from a dream of lack. Your lips utter lies because what you fear you project as truth; your tongue mutters perverseness as the inner chorus voices doubt and condemnation. This is a signal that you have allowed a story of separation to govern your experience. The stain is not a permanent mark on you, but a condition of the consciousness you have identified with. The remedy is not punishment but a return to the awareness that you are the I AM, the living mind that creates. When you accept your true state of wholeness, actions realign, words regain truth, and shifts in inner weather manifest as changed circumstances. The verse invites you to revise the inner atmosphere until your life reflects the unity of your being.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and declare that you are the I AM, and revise the sense of defilement as belonging to an outdated state of consciousness. Sit with the feeling of inviolable truth, and let that conviction permeate your thoughts, speech, and actions until they reflect inner purity.
