Inner Justice Manifested
Job 31:13-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 31 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Job condemns the mistreatment of servants and the vulnerable, reminding us that God created all in the womb and will judge how we treat them. He declares that true justice begins with how we regard and share with others.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your Job 31:13-17 is not a tale about others; it is a revelation of your own inner state. The manservant, the maidservant, the widow, and the fatherless are not external people to be judged but angles of consciousness within you. If you despise their cause, you cast out a part of yourself, and when God rises up—your I AM awareness—your own inner judge will demand an answer. Did not He that made me in the womb also fashion him? and are we not all formed in the same womb of life? If you have withheld the poor from their desire, or caused the eyes of the widow to fail, you have starved some aspect of your own vitality. If you have eaten your morsel alone, you have left the Fatherless unfed in your inner world, and your sense of abundance dims. The cure is to refuse separation and to affirm an inner unity: see yourself as the same Life in every person, and act from mercy. When you revise from this oneness, judgment dissolves into compassion, and the world shapes itself to reflect your inner harmony.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit for a few minutes and revise your self-image by assuming the consciousness that all people, even those you once neglected, are you. In your imagination, feed the hungry, bless the poor, and see those acts reflected back as abundance in your life; end by declaring, I and my neighbor are one.
