Inner Pit and Return

Proverbs 26:27-28 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 26 in context

Scripture Focus

27Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
28A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
Proverbs 26:27-28

Biblical Context

Plotting harm or deceit boomerangs back to the plotter. Lies and flattery ruin both the speaker and those affected.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the pit you would dig as a picture you form in consciousness. When you imagine setting a trap for another, you are not dealing with an external fate but with a state you persist within. The stone you roll is the motion of your own thought—your word uttered against another returns as your next visible reality in some form, for the law is imaginative and faithful to your inner stance. The lying tongue and its hatred show a mind that fears truth and clings to appearances; the flattering mouth, seeking to please and avoid conflict, sows ruin by masking reality from your own heart. Yet the scriptures offer not punishment but invitation to change your inner condition. If you assume I AM, the unwavering awareness that cannot harm, and you align your speech with integrity, the outer world rearranges to match that quiet center. Your judgments cease becoming traps and your words become instruments of blessing, returning as clarity, health, and honest relations. The kingdom is not somewhere far away but the present state of awareness you inhabit now.

Practice This Now

Practice now: close your eyes, picture yourself as the I AM at your center, and say, I dig no pits; I roll no stones; I speak truth only. Feel that revision settle into your consciousness until it is real.
