Lamentations 1:13-15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Lamentations 1 in context

Scripture Focus

13From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate and faint all the day.
14The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, the LORD hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.
15The LORD hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: the LORD hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress.
Lamentations 1:13-15

Biblical Context

The passage portrays a felt judgment and crushing hardship sent from above, leaving the speaker desolate and weak; it frames suffering as a test and discipline tied to transgressions.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, this text is not a mere history of Judah’s punishment but a map of your inner weather. 'From above' becomes the moment awareness speaks and fires the inner conviction that reveals what you believed and what you hid from yourself. The 'net for my feet' and the desolation describe limiting beliefs and the sense you cannot move forward while old identities bind you. The line about power being handed to enemies signals the inner recognition that your faculties are dressed in fear or guilt, so true strength feels lost until you revise. The marching 'assembly' and winepress imagery show how the mind fashions judgments into tangible pressures, yet they are only episodes in your state of consciousness. The good news is you decide which state you inhabit. You can awaken to I AM sovereignty; you can repent of the old belief that limits you, and you can imagine a new order where fire becomes insight and victory becomes your enduring condition.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and assume the I AM as your sovereign presence. Revise the verse in present tense: 'From within I send fire through my bones, and it prevails; I turn the net into a path and rise.' Then feel that sovereignty as real now.
