Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 9:23-26 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 9 in context

Scripture Focus

23Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:

24But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.

25Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised;

26Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.

Jeremiah 9:23-26

Biblical Context

Do not boast in wisdom, power, or riches. Instead, glory in understanding and knowing the LORD who exercises lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your true glory is not in clever ideas, mighty deeds, or worldly wealth, but in the simple recognition that you are the I AM, the LORD within. When you declare I understand and know the LORD, you summon a state of consciousness that acts with lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in your world. The phrase 'uncircumcised in heart' exposes an inner habit: a fence that keeps you from the consciousness of unity with divine law. The days of reproof come only when you linger in that separation; yet you can reverse it now by returning to the inner truth. Fix your attention on the I AM you are, the LORD within who loves and judges rightly. In this inward alignment, outer scenes soften and reflect mercy, fairness, and truth. The "punishment" spoken of is simply your own resistance dissolved as you awaken to your original birthright of consciousness, where lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness are the governing principles.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, place a hand on your chest, and assume the simple sentence, I understand and know the LORD within me; feel that truth as present now. Let any boastful thought about wisdom, power, or riches dissolve in that felt-sense of inner awareness.
