Inner Lament of Moab

Jeremiah 48:36-38 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 48 in context

Scripture Focus

36Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres: because the riches that he hath gotten are perished.
37For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
38There shall be lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 48:36-38

Biblical Context

Jeremiah declares Moab’s riches and outward signs will perish. The people will lament as the vessels are broken and the city is laid low.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the text speaks not of a place named Moab but of a state of consciousness clinging to outer riches. The heart 'sounding for Moab' is the inner call, a wavering desire that external wealth and status define worth. When the riches perish, the old form collapses—every head bald, every beard clipped, and sackcloth on the loins—so that the idol of possession is exposed and released. This is not punishment but a diagnostic moment: you are invited to turn inward, to recognize that the true vessel is consciousness itself, not the cracked container of the world. The breaking becomes soft wind that clears the air, revealing the I AM, the stable awareness that no change in form can displace. Lamentation on the housetops becomes a quiet admission: you have forgotten your oneness with the eternal. As you practice, hold the image of being unshakable, whole, and abundant within, and watch the outer scene rearrange itself to match the inner wealth you now claim.

Practice This Now

Sit in quiet and revise your sense of wealth. Claim, 'I am the wealth of consciousness that no outer change can diminish,' and feel it real in your chest.
