Inner Correction Awakens Knowledge

Proverbs 19:25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 19 in context

Scripture Focus

25Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
Proverbs 19:25

Biblical Context

The verse invites you to rebuke the scornful part of your mind so the simple, naive self grows cautious. When correction comes from understanding, true knowledge is awakened within.

Neville's Inner Vision

To you who seeks, the scorner is a fixed, resistant thought-form inside. Smite means to decide with your inner authority that this voice has no rule over you; speak from the I AM and let it fall silent. When the simple, inexperienced self hears correction, it stiffens its neck and pays attention; the habit of naive assent loosens because discernment is awakened. The one that hath understanding—the interior mature self—answers the correction with a quiet, inward acknowledgment: knowledge is not elsewhere but within the I AM. As you dwell in that truth, every scene rearranges itself: judgments soften, awareness sharpens, and actions align with genuine understanding. In this manner, Proverbs 19:25 becomes not a command to punish but a practice: you revise your inner weather until the felt reality of knowledge stands revealed by your own consciousness. Remember: the kingdom you seek is the I AM you already are, and correction is the doorway.

Practice This Now

In a moment of quiet, imagine you are the I AM addressing a stubborn thought; feel the scornful voice fade away and the simple mind awaken to discernment.
