Inner Groan, Divine Silence

Job 24:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Job 24 in context

Scripture Focus

12Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.
Job 24:12

Biblical Context

The verse speaks of people groaning in the city and a wounded soul crying out, while God does not impute folly to them.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that the groans and cries are not out there in the world, but within you as states of consciousness. The city is the clamor of outer appearances; the wounded soul is a stubborn belief in separation from your I AM. When Job says God lays not folly to them, he is pointing to the truth of your own awareness: the divine I AM does not condemn your pain; it simply knows. Your trials are inner movements seeking alignment with the essential truth that you are the living consciousness in which all events occur. The cry is a signal that you have forgotten the state in which you already live—the unassailable presence that does not suffer. The remedy is not to chase worldly relief but to revise, to assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, and to dwell in the assumption that the I AM is illumining your entire experience. When you inhabit that state, the groan softens, the wound heals in the sense of awareness, and the external appearances flow from the one reality you acknowledge within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and revise the scene by assuming I AM is the reality behind the groan; feel the relief as if the wound has already been healed.
