Neville Goddard on Micah 6:9-16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Micah 6 in context

Scripture Focus

9The LORD's voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.

10Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?

11Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?

12For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

13Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins.

14Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.

15Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.

16For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people.

Micah 6:9-16

Biblical Context

The Lord speaks against the city, exposing that wealth and deceit cannot redeem them. Judgment and desolation follow their sins.

Neville's Inner Vision

Micah’s cry is not a distant doom but a mirror for your inner life. The city you hear is the inner state of your consciousness, and the rod is the intimate correction of your I AM when the belief in separation grows loud. The treasures of wickedness and the scant measure you weigh are not external facts but inner attitudes—stories you tell about power, value, and gain. When your inner scales are deceitful, you feel sick while you eat, desolate while you cast about for deliverance, and you deliver nothing truly alive to life. The desolation spoken of is the natural result of clinging to old patterns as if they were you. Yet this is not final; it is a door. By turning your imagination toward a right measure—seeing every action as aligned with the Whole, choosing truth over appearances—you begin to shift the outer conditions. The warning against Omri and Ahab becomes a release from inherited habit into a self ruled by integrity, love, and true abundance.
