Neville Goddard on Job 11:5-7 - 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?

Job 11:5-7

Biblical Context

Job longs for God to speak and reveal wisdom, but true wisdom cannot be reached by human searching; it comes as an inner revelation beyond current effort or guilt.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Job 11:5–7, the 'God' who speaks is not a distant judge but the I AM you are aware of here and now. The question 'Canst thou by searching find out God?' reveals that genuine wisdom cannot be cornered by external effort; it comes when you stop negotiating with lack and choose to live as if wisdom is already yours. The 'secrets of wisdom' are not hidden in a library but embedded in your own consciousness, ready to unfold when you inhabit a state that the mind would call wise. The verse hints that the measure of wisdom is more generous than your present state deserves; you are offered more than your current striving yields. Therefore, turn from long searching to inward assumption: imagine, feel, and dwell in the knowledge that the I AM within you is the source of discernment, truth, and justice. As you persist, your inner guidance will speak in moments of quiet clarity, guiding choices with a calm certainty. Humility here is not self-deprecation but alignment with the Source, a willingness to accept that wisdom already resides inside your consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, 'I am the wisdom of God within me; I now know the secrets of wisdom.' Then imagine the inner voice guiding your next decision with calm, precise clarity.
