Inner Rest From Outer Greed

Job 20:19-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Job 20 in context

Scripture Focus

19Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;
20Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.
21There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.
Job 20:19-21

Biblical Context

These verses describe a man who oppresses the poor and takes what he did not build. He will not feel quietness in his belly, and none of his meat will be left; ultimately, no one will look for his goods.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that Job's language is not about a thief in a distant land but about the state of your own consciousness when you believe you must oppress or seize to be well. The 'poor' within you represents lack you have projected; the 'house you built not' is any belief erected by fear of poverty, a counterfeit security. When greed rules, the inner bellies are unsettled; quietness evaporates, and your dream remains unfulfilled because sense of worth is tethered to externals. Neville's method asks you to refuse that false narration and return to the I AM, the consciousness that provides by its own nature. If you truly know that you are the perceiver and the gift, there is no need to compensate by forced taking; your inner state now is sufficient. As you revise, feel the belly at rest, wealth as already secured, and deathless abundance as your true meat. The outer scene then follows the inner assumption: you shall lack nothing, and no one will need to look for your goods, for your goods are your being.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the feeling 'I am the source of all good; abundance rests now in my awareness.' Close your eyes and revise a scene of lack by picturing quiet rest setting in and every need already supplied.
