Inner Wisdom Of Family Proverb

Proverbs 19:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 19 in context

Scripture Focus

13A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
Proverbs 19:13

Biblical Context

Proverbs 19:13 points to the way inner states shape family life: a 'foolish' attitude in the son becomes calamity for the father, and ongoing inner contentions spill into daily life. It is not primarily about people, but about the inner conditions that manifest as outer trouble.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard vantage, the 'foolish son' and the 'contentions of a wife' are not distant persons but symbols of your own concealed states. The calamity of the father is the inner consequence of believing a separation between your I AM presence and your seed of life; the 'foolish' aspect reflects thought habits that fail to align with the creative I AM, producing outer turmoil as a mirror. The verse invites you to notice that every seeming disturbance in the home is a disturbance in consciousness. If you revise the inner narrative, assuming that you already know the harmony you seek, the outer world follows. The trick is not to fight the other but to treat the scene as a projection that can be awakened to 'I AM' reality. When you do not identify with the dropped tone of contention, you reinterpret the scene as an opportunity to feel the answer now, to image forgiveness, to envision the son and the wife as aspects of your own divine picture. You are one with the I AM; let imagination reform the day.

Practice This Now

Practice: close your eyes, dwell in the I AM, and revise the scene by declaring, 'I am peace; I have already resolved every contention.' See the son as a reflection of the inner child you free, and the wife’s tone as harmony, not resistance.
