Neville Goddard on Job 42:7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 42 in context

Scripture Focus

7And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

Job 42:7

Biblical Context

In Job 42:7, God declares that Eliphaz and his friends did not speak rightly about Him, while Job spoke what is right. This highlights a contrast between inner states of consciousness and the outer judgments that follow.

Neville's Inner Vision

See this as a map of your inner life. The Lord’s verdict is not about people in a story but about the quality of your inner speech about God. Eliphaz and the other friends are the voices of hurried conclusions—the thoughts that define God by appearances and distance. Job represents a consciousness that stands with the I AM, unmoved by circumstance and willing to declare God as present within. In Neville’s teaching, “my servant Job” is the self that speaks from the innermost truth of Being. When you recognize that God is the I AM you are, your statements about God turn right—they reflect the unchanging Presence that creates and sustains you. The “wrath” mentioned is the tightening of belief that you must conform to a limited image of God; it dissolves when you revise inner speech to acknowledge the divine nature as your own awareness. Once you align your talking with that truth, the outer voices reveal themselves as reflections of your inner state, and you become the vessel through which God speaks rightly.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and repeat, 'I am the I AM speaking truth about God now.' Feel this as a steady inner fact, revising any sense of distance or wrath into the fellowship of divine presence.
