Inner Prophets, Inner Judgment
Lamentations 4:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Lamentations 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse laments that the sins of prophets and priests have shed the blood of the just within the city, highlighting collective accountability and spiritual corruption.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's light, the line is a map of consciousness rather than a historical indictment. 'Her prophets' and 'her priests' are inner faculties—the imagination and conscience—whose mistaken beliefs have stained the mind with fear and the sense that violence or injustice comes from outside. The 'blood of the just in the midst of her' points to the psychic wound you carry when you accept separation between God and life. The cure is to awaken to the I AM within as the sole governor of experience, reframing guilt as a state you can revise. By refusing to identify with the old voices and by dwelling in the awareness of your God-given authority, you dissolve the appearance of inner fracture. Holiness becomes a present posture of mind, and accountability shifts from punishment to the gentle of re-alignment of belief. The verse invites you to repair the inner climate: acknowledge the inner cause, forgive the projection, and assume a new state where the prophets and priests serve your clarified consciousness. As you keep faith with the I AM, the outer city reflects the revised inward decree.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and repeat softly: I AM the light and just mind. Revise the inner prophets and priests by declaring peace, and feel the shift as the mind accepts a new decree.
