Jeremiah 22:13-14 Inner Wealth

Jeremiah 22:13-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 22 in context

Scripture Focus

13Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;
14That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is cieled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
Jeremiah 22:13-14

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 22:13-14 condemns building a house by unrighteous means and exploiting a neighbor’s labor without pay while pursuing grand outward luxuries. It suggests true wealth comes from just, not showy, living.

Neville's Inner Vision

From a Neville Goddard perspective, the 'house' is your inner state, and 'unrighteousness' and 'wrong' are thoughts and habits that cheat your neighbor (the inner self) and withhold rightful exchange. The verse condemns building by coercion, using another’s labor without fair compensation, and parading outward wealth as proof of value. The deeper message is psychological: the builder’s wide house and cedar windows reveal a consciousness that trusts appearances over true abundance. When you say I will build, you reveal a belief in separation from the I AM and a fear of scarcity, which manifest as external oppression. To enter the inner kingdom, revise that image: acknowledge that all you seek flows from the I AM and that justice arises from your inner atmosphere. Feel the reality of prosperity already present through fair exchange and generous use of wealth. In practice, the outward structure will follow this inner posture: a life built in harmony, where supply is shared and no labor is exploited, and where the heart aligns with justice rather than vanity.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume you are the I AM and wealth flows through just exchange. Revise any thought of exploiting labor, and feel the reality of abundant provision enter your life.
