Neville Goddard on Job 15:1-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 15 in context

Scripture Focus

1Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,

2Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?

3Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?

4Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.

5For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.

6Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.

Job 15:1-6

Biblical Context

Eliphaz rebukes Job for uttering vain knowledge and for fear that suppresses prayer, charging that Job’s own mouth condemns him. The verse highlights how the inner voice can accuse the self when the heart is disconnected from God.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard perspective, Eliphaz’s rebuke is a reading of a state of consciousness rather than a mere accusation. 'Vain knowledge' is the ego’s clever talk that empties the belly with wind while the heart stays distant from God within. 'Fear' and 'restrained prayer' describe a mind that pretends to wisdom yet withholds the living connection to the I AM. When you identify with such talk, your vibrational atmosphere narrows and your inner God appears silent, your own speech becoming a measure against your truth. The cure is simple: accept that you are the I AM, the always-present awareness that creates reality. Begin to revise your inner dialogue by choosing a new assumption: that God is present here, now, and that you can pray from that certainty rather than from lack. Say, 'I am in the presence of God; I choose faith over fear,' and feel that truth as real in your chest and bloodstream. In that act, your thoughts bow to your state, and your words stop condemning you, becoming a launchpad for the life you intend.
