Restitution Through Inner Righteousness
Job 20:18-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage states that what a man labours for must be restored, measured by his substance, and that oppression of the poor leaves no room for true joy. It points to accountability and a justice that begins in awareness, not merely in outward events.
Neville's Inner Vision
Job 20:18-19 speaks not of a distant court but of your inner ledger. The man who labors and oppresses is a state of consciousness built on fear and scarcity; the restitution described is the revision of that inner accounting. When you affirm that every effort you ever made is already restored within your awareness, you dissolve the belief that someone else’s loss makes you rich. The external conditions follow as you align with the truth that the I AM sustains all form; you cannot rejoice in oppression because the inner order demands harmony and fair exchange. By recognizing that the “house you built not” is an inner house—your life organized by right relation—you invite a fresh current of abundance that honors all beings. Restitution, then, becomes a present experience of wholeness inside you, not merely a future event. In this light, the oppressor is dissolved as a mental posture, and your consciousness becomes the very house where rightful abundance manifests.
Practice This Now
Assume the inner state that restitution is already complete. Feel and say, 'I have restored all I labored for; rightful abundance is mine now.'
