From Despair to Inner Nourishment

Lamentations 4:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Lamentations 4 in context

Scripture Focus

10The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
Lamentations 4:10

Biblical Context

The verse portrays extreme suffering where people, pressed by ruin, appear to consume what sustains them. It offers a stark image of inward collapse under calamity.

Neville's Inner Vision

Plainly the words describe a city in the grip of ruin, where the hands of sorrow push their own nourishment toward destruction. In the inner sense, this is not a historical act but a state of consciousness that has forgotten its Source. The hands are habits of attention that starve hope when life seems exhausted; the 'meat' is the meaning we feed the mind with. When belief fixates on lack, the inner scene reproduces catastrophe. Yet the I AM within you remains the unmoveable witness, the anchor behind every thought. You can revise the entire picture by adopting a new assumption: I am sustained by an infinite consciousness; supply flows through me now. When you feel this, the appetite to devour your future dissolves and the image softens into a dawn of renewal. Your inner resources—love, imagination, and knowing—begin to feed your life instead of devouring it. The pitiful vision fades as you realize you are the I AM, and that this I AM nourishes the daughter of your life with divine abundance.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the I AM as the constant provider within you. Revise the scene by affirming, 'I am nourished by infinite consciousness; life feeds me from within.'
