Neville Goddard on Job 30:8-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 30 in context

Scripture Focus

8They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.

9And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.

10They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.

Job 30:8-10

Biblical Context

Job 30:8-10 depicts people mocking the speaker, turning his life into a byword, reflecting deep social rejection and suffering.

Neville's Inner Vision

Job’s words reveal that the outward chorus of mockery is a reflection of an inner state you have accepted. The “children of fools” are the old voices within—doubt, shame, fear—calling you vile. The I AM, your true awareness, does not condemn you; it simply awaits your conscious revision. In Neville’s method, the outer scene is a dream your inner self is crafting, and you can rewrite it by returning to the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Do not identify with the byword; instead identify with the unchanging Self that is always beloved and free. When you assume the feeling of acceptance—beloved, approved, uncondemned—you dissolve the sense of hostility and isolation, because you have shifted the state from which the world springs. Persist in this revised state, declaring, “I AM the beloved of God within me,” and watch the old mockeries loosen their grip as your inner kingdom speaks the new truth into life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, calm the breath, and rest in I AM. Silently repeat, “I am beloved and accepted now,” and feel that truth saturate your chest until the mockery seems distant; then step into the revised scene as the I AM in command.
