Neville Goddard on Proverbs 24:11-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Proverbs 24 in context

Scripture Focus

11If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;

12If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?

Proverbs 24:11-12

Biblical Context

These verses urge action to rescue those at risk and warn that true knowledge and judgment come from the heart. If we pretend ignorance, God weighs our inner motives and renders to each according to deeds.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider these verses as a map of your inner life. The drawn unto death and the warnings against withholding rescue are not about others apart from you; they are whispers of your own state of consciousness. In Neville’s language, the so called external events are movements of your inner self; the act of delivering them is the moment you refuse to narrate scarcity and instead align with I AM as the sole reality. The heart that ponders all, the quiet king in whom all souls are kept, renders according to the content of your thoughts and feelings. So when you imagine you did not know, you expose a belief in separation; correct that by knowing that you are one with the life you judge. Therefore cultivate mercy as your normal state, presume wholeness for every being, and allow that inner assumption to reform your world. The deliverance you seek is the awakening of your own consciousness to its unity with God.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume the state I AM the rescuer in every moment and feel it real now. If you catch yourself thinking we knew it not, revise to I knew it in the heart of I AM and continue from that certainty.
