The Slothful Field: Inner Renewal

Proverbs 24:30-32 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 24 in context

Scripture Focus

30I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
31And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
32Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
Proverbs 24:30-32

Biblical Context

The verses describe passing by a neglected field and vineyard, noticing overgrowth and a broken wall, and then reflecting to gain instruction.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your field and vineyard are not far away places; they are the states of your own consciousness. The slothful field and the man void of understanding represent thoughts you have tolerated as normal living. Thorns, nettles, and a broken wall symbolize the overgrowth of fear, procrastination, and misbelief that have closed you in and separated you from your imagination's fruit. When the text says, 'Then I saw, and considered it well,' it awakens a simple law: awareness settings decide the harvest. The imaginative act of seeing is not observation of something external; it is an inner choosing, a revision of what you accept about yourself. To prune and rebuild is to align with the I AM within you, the eternal gardener who never sleeps. By identifying with your highest state, you prune away the old habit-vegetables and replant with seeds of certainty, order, and creative power. The wall's collapse becomes your internal boundary restored—discipline, discernment, and yield returning to your life. Remember: every neglected field is a dream you chose to abandon; every reinterpreted scene is a decision to live as the creator of your destiny.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise the scene to one where the field is clear, the wall stands firm, and vines bear fruit. Feel the certainty of abundance as if it is already yours, and repeat, I AM.
