Prudence Quiets Wrath Within

Proverbs 12:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 12 in context

Scripture Focus

16A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.
Proverbs 12:16

Biblical Context

A fool's anger is quick to show itself; a prudent person hides or covers that shame through disciplined, discerning action.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this line I read that the outer scene of anger is but a witness to your inner state. A fool's wrath is presently known because you identify with the surge of reaction; the prudent man, however, does not let the flare define him. Your true self is the I AM, the constant awareness behind the drama. If you dwell in that awareness, you revise the scene by imagination rather than argument. See the moment of irritation passing through you, then choose the posture of calm and measured speech. The act of 'covering' is not concealment of truth but preservation of your inner peace so that shame does not become your weapon or the weapon of another. When you imagine yourself as the prudent one, you shift your feeling from resistance to acceptance; you reveal a power that can align words, timing, and mercy. In practice, you are creating a new habit of response, not suppressing a truth. By feeling it real that you are the calm I AM, the outward interaction shifts to reflect that inner state.

Practice This Now

Practice: the next time anger rises, pause, breathe, and declare 'I AM the calm observer.' Then imagine the moment settling, the other person softening, and you moving forward with quiet, prudent action.
