Mortal Justice vs Divine Maker

Job 4:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Job 4 in context

Scripture Focus

17Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
Job 4:17

Biblical Context

The verse questions whether mortals can surpass God in justice or purity, asserting the divine standard is beyond human measure. It invites inner humility before the Maker.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the line lies the reminder that the standard of justice and purity belongs to God, not to the shifting judgments of a mortal mind. In Neville's terms, the verse becomes a mirror of consciousness: when you claim you know better than God, you assume a state of separation from the I AM that is the ground of all being. The 'Maker' is the I AM within you, the immutable sense of self that defines your reality. To identify with a human limit is to misidentify with your true identity as awareness. The correction is not to argue with appearances but to align yourself with the one constant standard—you as the living God in expression. When you insist you are more just or pure than your maker, you contract into fear, guilt, and self-judgment, thereby fashioning a reality that seems to validate such judgments. The healing is to assume the truth that you are the justice and purity already established by the I AM, and to feel that truth as present now. By revising your sense of self to harmonize with divine perfection, your world will reflect that standard back to you.

Practice This Now

Assume the identity: I AM the justice and purity of my life. Feel that truth now and let any urge to compare with God fade into quiet awareness.
