Neville Goddard on Job 24:12-13 - Mystical Bible 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.

13They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.

Job 24:12-13

Biblical Context

Men groan in the city, and the wounded cry out; yet the passage says God does not lay folly to them. Some are rebellious toward the light, unaware of its ways and paths.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, these verses show that suffering arises when you identify with a state of ignorance rather than with awareness. The city is your outward world, the groan is the inner clash of old beliefs, and the wounded cry is your mind calling for relief from its dream. God layeth not folly to them indicates the I AM is never condemning your cries; it simply does not acknowledge the dream as real. Those who rebel against the light are those who deny the ways of awareness, who do not abide in the paths of truth because they have forgotten the light of their own being. The remedy is not punishment but revision: awaken to the realization that you are the light you seek, and that your thoughts determine the path you walk. Do not argue with appearances; re-create the world by re-creating your state of consciousness. When you assume the state of the light, you align with the natural law of your being, and the 'suffering' dissolves as the inner vision becomes outward fact.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM presence now; imagine you are the light walking the streets of your life, and feel that truth until it reshapes your seen world. Feel it real.
