Job 24:21–23 Inner Eye

Job 24:21-23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Job 24 in context

Scripture Focus

21He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.
22He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.
23Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways.
Job 24:21-23

Biblical Context

Verse 24:21–23 depicts cruelty toward the barren and widow, the mighty rising by power, and life’s uncertainty even when one feels safe. It points to how outer fortunes reflect inner states of care, vigilance, and judgment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the 'He' who entreats the barren and ignores the widow is not a distant tyrant but a state of consciousness you harbor. In this inner scene, the barren and widow stand for lack and vulnerability within you; the mighty drawn by power is the ego's need to control. The verse hints that even when you feel secure, your attention remains fixed on others' paths, a habit of watching life as a performance. Neville would tell you that such outer scenes are inward movements of your own imagining. So turn the gaze within, and assume a different state: the I AM that already provides, sustains, and protects. Revise the belief that safety is earned by force, and feel it real that safety is a function of awareness, not circumstance. When you align with the sense that your life is under Providence—an ever-present intelligence inside you—the power of outer conditions weakens. You discover that you are the observer who blesses the path of all, not the judge who eyes it. In that sovereignty, the inner eye becomes primary, and the world follows your inward assurance.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and fix your attention on the I AM within; assume the state that you bless and safeguard the vulnerable. Revise the belief that safety comes from outer conditions and feel it real that safety flows from inner awareness.
