Ill-Gotten Riches Reversed

Job 20:15-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Job 20 in context

Scripture Focus

15He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
16He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him.
17He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.
Job 20:15-17

Biblical Context

Job 20:15-17 depicts a man who swallows riches but ends up cast out, poisoned by fear and greed, and denied the rivers of honey and butter.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard perspective, these lines reveal a state of consciousness more than a mere event. Wealth gained by fear and greed is not a lasting treasure, but a swallowed energy that must be expelled by the awareness that you are the I AM. The 'God' that casts them out is your inner sense of self as the begetter of reality. The poison of asps and the viper's tongue symbolize your own thoughts—fearful, accusatory, and grasping—that slay the dream of abundance you seek. When the mind fixes on external riches, it forgets the rivers, floods, and honey-bright sustenance that belong to the inner kingdom. The cure is to revise the identification: claim that you are already wealthy, that abundance is your natural state, and that any appearance of lack is simply a misalignment in consciousness. By assuming and feeling from the finished state—riches as a here-and-now presence—you dissolve the toxic belief and restore perception of blessing. Your inner certainty breathes life into outer provision, and the scene must reflect that inner conviction.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and repeat 'I AM abundance now.' Visualize a flowing river of honey and butter within your chest, and feel the fullness as the truth of your being.
