Neville Goddard on Job 28:12-19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 28 in context

Scripture Focus

12But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?

13Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.

14The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.

15It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.

16It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.

17The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.

18No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.

19The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.

Job 28:12-19

Biblical Context

Wisdom cannot be found by wealth or in the land of the living; it cannot be purchased with gold or gems. True discernment lies within a conscious state, beyond external things.

Neville's Inner Vision

Where shall wisdom be found? Not in lands of living nor in the price of gold, for wisdom is a state of consciousness, a knowing you awaken from within the I AM that you are. The depths and the sea declare that wisdom is not located in externals; it is not weighed by rubies or poured from Ophir’s gold. In Neville's lens, the 'price' is not currency but belief. You imagine money as power, yet wisdom asks you to revise your sense of self until you feel the inner discernment as your immediate Facts. Assume the wise self now; feel it real as your present awareness, not a future possession. As you entertain this inner state, the outer world rearranges to reflect it, because consciousness scripts reality. The Providence here is your own awareness guiding you, not luck or wealth. Let the mind rest in the realization that wisdom is above price, born in the consciousness that perceives.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume the role of the wise self now; close your eyes, breathe, and feel the consciousness that already knows. Repeat 'I am wisdom itself' until the sense of inner discernment is vivid.
