Silent Tongue, Radiant Integrity
Job 20:12-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Wickedness is described as something sweet in the mouth that one hides under the tongue and keeps inside; the passage points to inner deceit and the need for truth to prevail over concealed wrongdoing.
Neville's Inner Vision
Consider that the 'wickedness' described is not an external crime but an inner state of consciousness you have become familiar with through repetition. The mouth and tongue symbolize the spoken world you produce by imagining and speaking from inner definitions. When you feel the sweetness of a thought that opposes truth, you are tasting the remainders of a consciousness not yet aligned with your I AM. Neville reading would say: change the state, revise the narrative, and let the inner voice declare the truth of your unity with the perfect, pure self that you are. The verse asks you to notice concealment—how you guard an inner claim as though it were separate from God-identity. Yet all you conceal is simply a misidentified self. By identifying with the I AM, you spontaneously cease harboring dualities; the inner tongue stops clinging to illusion and the outer life reflects integrity and accountability. Practice turning hidden thoughts to light by assuming a new state: I am pure, I am true, I am free.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, breathe, and revise any hidden thought by declaring, with feeling, I am pure, I am true. Then imagine the inner mouth speaking in harmony with the I AM, and see your outer life align with integrity.
