Neville Goddard on Job 11:1-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 11 in context

Scripture Focus

1Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

2Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?

3Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?

4For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.

5But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;

6And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.

7Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?

8It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?

9The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.

10If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?

11For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?

Job 11:1-11

Biblical Context

Zophar answers Job with a sharp rebuke: more words do not prove righteousness. He insists that true wisdom belongs to God and that humans cannot fully know or master the divine.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville channel, the outer debate is a veil over the inner law. Zophar's claim that wisdom is beyond reach is really about the boundary you place around your own consciousness. The 'secrets of wisdom' are not remote facts you hunt; they are the laws your I AM writes on your life. Can you by searching find out God? Can you exhaust the Almighty with argument? Zophar points to a measure that is 'as high as heaven' and 'broader than the sea' to remind you that the field of awareness is vast. If you insist your conditions prove your virtue, you miss how God moves; He moves within your state of awareness, and your life responds accordingly. Real discernment comes when you stop measuring God by others' words and begin feeling the truth of your own I AM. Then the external noise dissolves, and the inner scale reveals the balance between what you think and what you are capable of becoming. The moment you accept that the I AM is all wisdom, you walk through the doors of true understanding.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly with a current concern, declare 'I AM' the sole reality, and feel the truth of inner wisdom. Revise one limiting belief to align with this I AM and notice the inner sense of guidance.
