Neville Goddard on Proverbs 2:6-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Proverbs 2 in context

Scripture Focus

6For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

7He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

8He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.

Proverbs 2:6-8

Biblical Context

God grants wisdom and understanding; wisdom is laid up for the righteous. Those who walk upright are protected and guided, with paths kept and saints preserved.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your true wealth is wisdom already issued from the I AM within you. The verse says the LORD giveth wisdom; think of wisdom as a living principle, not a search outside. It comes from the mouth of God—your awareness itself—speaking knowledge and understanding into your thoughts. When you assume a state of upright consciousness, you lay up sound wisdom for the righteous in your own being, and you become a buckler to your acts, protected by alignment rather than by chance. The paths of judgment are the natural orders of your inner life, and the preservation of your saints is the ongoing keeping of your inner states, day by day. See yourself most at home in that divine order, and watch how decisions soften, discernment sharpens, and life moves with steadier flow.
