Neville Goddard on Job 11:5-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 11 in context

Scripture Focus

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 11:5-11

Biblical Context

Job 11:5-11 reveals that true wisdom exceeds human search. It invites inner alignment with the I AM rather than chasing external answers.

Neville's Inner Vision

Job 11:5-11 asks whether you can exhaust God by questioning Him, but Neville would answer: the real inquiry is, can you become the I AM that beholds? The 'secrets of wisdom' are not facts to be found in another book; they are inner states you call forth by imagination and conviction. They are 'double' to what is outwardly known because what you envision and believe manifests twice: in your sense of reality and in your life. You cannot locate God by searching; you awaken to Him by becoming the awareness that perceives. The lines about height, depth, and measure beckon you to the vast interior sanctuary of consciousness, where the outer world bows to your alignment. If God cuts off or gathers, it merely shows the prime mover is inside your own mind—your capacity to pivot belief and experience. He knows vanity and seeks truth, but your job is to rest in the I AM and let revelation descend. The essential truth is: the divine operates from within; when you assume it, the entire kingdom responds.
