Neville Goddard on Job 32:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 32 in context

Scripture Focus

1So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

2Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

Job 32:1-2

Biblical Context

Job 32:1–2 shows the companions silencing themselves as Job proclaims righteousness in his own eyes; Elihu’s anger burns because Job Justifies himself rather than God. The passage invites turning from self-justification to alignment with the divine I AM.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this moment, Job represents a state of consciousness that clings to personal righteousness and defense. When that state speaks, others fall silent and even the inner voice of truth becomes quieted by the need to be right. Elihu’s anger is the erupting pressure of a higher truth insisting that true alignment is not found in self-justification but in surrender to the I AM. Neville Goddard teaches that God is the I AM within you, the awareness that uses imagination to mold experience; thus, the scene signals a shift from argument to acceptance. The resolution comes not by proving the self but by revising the state: acknowledge that you are already in harmony with the I AM, and your thoughts, words, and feelings must reflect that unity. When you relinquish self-exaltation and open to divine alignment, the inner council resumes, and life begins to respond from peace rather than contention. Remember: events mirror your inner state, and you can re-create the scene by choosing the I AM as your only reality.

Practice This Now

Practice: Assume the present state 'I am one with God, the I AM.' Close your eyes, breathe, and feel that unity until the impulse to defend your righteousness dissolves and a sense of quiet humility remains.
