Read Lamentations 3 in context

Scripture Focus

59O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.
60Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.
61Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me;
62The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.
63Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick.
64Render unto them a recompence, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
65Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.
66Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD.
Lamentations 3:59-66

Biblical Context

The passage presents a petitioner asking God to see and judge the speaker's wrongs and to repay the enemy’s cruelty; it frames suffering as a demand for justice amid relentless reproach and attack.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your cry in Lamentations is the cry of the awakened mind testing its own inner atmosphere. In Neville's language, the ‘enemy’ and the ‘reproach’ are not out there but within your own imagination; God is the I AM, the awareness that judges, not a distant external court. The verse invites you to witness the inner movement—vexing thoughts, imagined slanders, and the sense of being sung against—then translate those movements into a new condition of consciousness. When you stop asking 'out there' for justice and begin aligning with a settled, compassionate, and rightful state, you render recompense not by anger but by the healing of your own heart. The world then becomes a faithful reflection of your inward state: fear and accusation dissolve as you assume the state of wholeness and clarity. The “anger from the heavens” becomes your inner decree that you are governed by the law of your own I AM, perfectly just and whole. You are not a victim of circumstance; you are the perceiver who models a new order from within.

Practice This Now

Practice: In a quiet moment, close your eyes, breathe, and declare: 'I am the I AM; I judge by my own perfect order; I now revise every impression of attack into an inner state of justice and peace.' Then imagine a scene where resistance softens and you stand in a serene light as your inner state governs the world you see.
