Inner Justice and Prosperity

Jeremiah 5:28 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 5 in context

Scripture Focus

28They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
Jeremiah 5:28

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 5:28 condemns the prosperous who ignore the rights of the fatherless and the needy, exposing a gap between outward wealth and inward justice.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the desert of your mind, the 'they' in this verse are not distant rulers but your own states of consciousness that have grown fat on self-sufficiency while turning away from the 'cause' of the vulnerable within you. Waxen fat symbolizes a comforted ego that shines with surface success yet excuses the inner fatherless - those neglected needs and neglected mercy - whose cries you do not hear. To assume that prosperity can stand apart from justice is to live in a dream of separation; real prosperity arises when your I AM recognizes itself as the judge and giver of true right. When you bring your awareness to the inner scene, you acknowledge every part of you - the parts that crave security, the parts that fear lack, the parts that would rather prosper than share - and you declare that justice is a present, universal provision. The revision is simple: decide that the needs of the 'needy' within are essential to your wholeness, and feel the feeling of being the conduit through which fairness flows. As you persist in that state, outer conditions reflect a fair and abundant supply.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume the I AM as the judge and giver of true right, and visualize the inner 'fatherless' being met by your steadfast awareness. Feel the natural flow of universal provision now moving through every corner of your life.
