The Just Weight Within
Proverbs 11:1-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Proverbs 11:1-6 contrasts false measures with righteous integrity and humility, showing that wealth and pride cannot secure safety. True deliverance comes from righteousness and inner alignment.
Neville's Inner Vision
Consider that a 'false balance' is not a scale in a market, but a state of consciousness that weighs life by appearances and wealth. God, the I AM within you, delights in a just weight—an inner alignment where your decisions are true to principle. When pride rises, the heart feels shame, and wisdom withdraws; but the lowly, the humble accept correction and grow in discernment. The integrity of the upright becomes your guide, a luminous inner compass; the perverseness of transgressors collapses under its own inconsistencies. Riches do not save in the day of wrath, whereas righteousness delivers from death; thus wealth is a temporary instrument, while character is enduring. The righteousness of the perfect directs the way, and the wicked fall by their own wrongdoing; the upright are delivered by their consistency. In practice, imagine you are the internal judge—your I AM recognizing truth, discarding deceit, choosing humility and fair treatment in thought, word, and deed. Feel that you are already the one who walks safely through every storm by the light of inner justice.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and affirm: I AM the just weight; I measure life by truth, not by wealth. Then revise any pride by imagining a scale of inner integrity delivering me through every choice.
