Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 30:12-16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 30 in context

Scripture Focus

12For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.

13There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines.

14All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased.

15Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.

16Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.

Jeremiah 30:12-16

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 30:12-16 speaks of an incurable wound and a chastisement for iniquity. It also promises reversal through the defeat of adversaries and captivity.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the wound as a belief in separation from your true healing. The text unveils the inner law: what you think of as 'they' who wound you are merely projections of your current state of consciousness. The judgments and chastisements arise from a mindset you have accepted; the devourers and adversaries mirror thoughts, fears, and habits that consume your peace. Yet the passage points to a reversal available to you: by awakening to the I AM within—your eternal awareness—you can revise your life and align outer conditions with a new inner state. When you imagine yourself healed, whole, and restored, the external scene follows, often in surprising ways. The invitation is not punishment but a prompt to turn inward and claim the reality you desire by assuming an altered state and feeling it as real.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise the scene: imagine the wound as a healing scar, feel the I AM within you restoring all. Silently repeat, I AM healed, I AM whole, and let that inner state enter your body and life.
