Honest Scales, Inner Wisdom

Proverbs 11:1-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 11 in context

Scripture Focus

1A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.
2When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.
3The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
Proverbs 11:1-3

Biblical Context

Proverbs 11:1-3 contrasts a false balance with true measurement, revealing how inner states shape outer life. Pride brings shame, humility invites wisdom, and integrity guides the upright.

Neville's Inner Vision

Listen within: the 'false balance' is not a material scale but a misalignment of your awareness. The LORD’s delight in a just weight is the moment your I AM witnesses the true measure of your thoughts and motives. When pride swells, you contract your awareness into a small self-image, and the psyche answers with shame, for you have separated power from the whole of your being. Yet humility is not weakness; it is the spaciousness in which wisdom can move. The upright do not boast of better standing; they have allowed the truth of their nature to register, and that truth guides every action with quiet authority. The perverseness of transgressors is simply the belief that you are apart from your Source, a belief which stirs conflict and ruin. Seen thus, success, justice, and harmony are movements of consciousness: to the degree you align with integrity, your life flows in that direction. The inner decision precedes any outer result; you are the scale, and by assuming the state of being true to your I AM, you keep it true.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume the state of true measure as your current reality. When pride arises, revise it by affirming 'I AM balanced; I AM true to my inner scale,' and feel that truth settle in your chest.
