Soft Answers, Wise Eyes

Proverbs 15:1-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 15 in context

Scripture Focus

1A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
2The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
3The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
Proverbs 15:1-3

Biblical Context

Soft answers turn away wrath, and foolish words stir anger. The verse also calls attention to the all-seeing presence of God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this verse, you are called to realize that every outward quarrel mirrors an inward posture. The soft answer is the inward assumption of peace, the calm presence you cultivate as the I AM now. When another voice rises, you do not wrestle with it but revise your state: you affirm, I am the I AM; I choose calm, I choose to hear with discernment. The tongue of the wise is your ability to use knowledge aright because you have re-educated your inner speech; it flows not from fear but from an enlightened awareness that all speech is a form of creation. As you dwell in that awareness, the eyes of the LORD the omnipresent I AM within watch not from judgment but from perfect love; you perceive the evil and the good as movements in consciousness, not as separate foes. Thus wrath loses its grip, for you have shifted the scene from outer confrontation to inner alignment, and the world responds to your revised act as if drawn by a magnet of peace.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In your next encounter, silently affirm I am the I AM. Imagine a soft answer dissolving anger; feel the calm as real until your outer response reflects the inner peace.
