Words Shape Inner Destiny
Proverbs 11:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse warns that hypocritical speech harms others. True deliverance comes through inner knowledge.
Neville's Inner Vision
Consider the hypocrite's mouth as the outward sign of a mind at war with itself. The world you call 'neighbor' is but the image reflecting your own inner state. When the inner conversation is ruled by fear, judgment, and comparison, the mouth becomes a weapon, striking at the inner neighbor called your fellow self, and your environment echoes that discord. But knowledge is not information; it is awareness—the recognition that you are the I AM, consciousness itself, which creates by assent. To 'deliver' the just is to awaken to a new state of consciousness in which your words are not weapons but invitations. As you dwell in the awareness that you are already what you seek, the impulse to harm dissolves, and the world yields: problems resolve, relations restore, and a sense of sacred deliverance fills you. The hypocrite vanishes not by punishment but by the transformation of inner knowing. Your revision is your creation; your feeling of the wish fulfilled makes it real.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume the end—see yourself as the deliverer in your next conversation; revise a harsh word into a compassionate observation and feel it real.
