Job 13:13-19 Inner Trust

Job 13:13-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Job 13 in context

Scripture Focus

13Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.
14Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?
15Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
16He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.
17Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
18Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
19Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
Job 13:13-19

Biblical Context

Job asks to be left alone to speak, then declares his trust in God even if God slays him, insisting his own path before God will justify him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine this not as a historical critique but as a soundtrack playing inside your own consciousness. Job’s demand for space to speak is the moment you turn toward the I AM and allow it to articulate itself without interruption by the outer critic. The line Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him becomes a declaration of the steadfast inner state: though outer appearances threaten the body or loss, the awakening I AM remains undisturbed, and faith persists as the memory of divine truth. When Job says I will maintain mine own ways before him, he is naming the inward alignment—the decision to live by the law of your own consciousness rather than by fear or reproach. He also shall be my salvation translates to: salvation is the result of your own state of awareness, not a distant judgment; the inner hypocrite he refers to is the old, conflicted self you choose to ignore. Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears invites you to hear the quiet, confident monologue of your true self. Behold, I have ordered my cause; I know I shall be justified: you determine the terms of your reality by the tone of your inner speech.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In a quiet moment, assume the feeling that you are already justified. Sit with your eyes closed, place a hand on your chest, and repeat, 'I am the salvation of my life; I am the I AM, justified by my awareness.'
