Job 19 Inner Suffering Turn

Job 19:6-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Job 19 in context

Scripture Focus

6Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.
7Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
8He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.
9He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
10He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.
11He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.
12His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.
13He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.
14My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
15They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
16I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.
17My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body.
18Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.
19All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
Job 19:6-19

Biblical Context

Job feels God has overthrown him, encircled him with a net, and stripped him of glory. He is cut off from friends, family, and ordinary life, living in isolation and darkness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Job’s cry is not an outside accident but a movement of consciousness. The overthrown condition is a belief in separation from the I AM, a mental net you have woven around your sense of self. The darkness that seems to enshroud your path is simply the mind’s habit of picturing absence rather than the Presence that you are. When you cry out and feel unheard, you are listening to an old recording, not to the living Presence within. The stripping of glory and the turning away of kin are inner dispositions that can be revised in the heart. All around you in the dream are symbols—enemies, friends, and strangers—that reflect your inner mood, not the truth of your essence. Remember: God, the I AM, dwells as your very awareness and cannot be touched by loss. Your responsibility is to assume a new state of feeling: I am the Presence that fills all paths, I am the door through which every gaunt expanse becomes light. In that assumed state, the world rearranges to fit the truth you have embraced.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM as the here-now Presence; revise the scene by declaring, 'I am held by Infinite Life, and nothing can bind my passage.' Feel it-real as you breathe.
