Proverbs 27:11-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 27 in context

Scripture Focus

11My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
12A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
Proverbs 27:11-12

Biblical Context

Be wise and let your inner heart be glad; foreseeing danger protects you, while ignoring warnings leads to unnecessary trouble.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture this: the teacher within you is the I AM, the one presence that never shakes. Proverbs 27:11-12 invites you to be wise, not as a rule of the outer world but as a state of consciousness. When you align with the I AM, your heart becomes glad—your inner atmosphere knows calm certainty and you answer the reproach of lack and limitation with the quiet authority of presence. The prudent man is not fearing the future but foreseeing it in the imagination and then stepping into safety by withdrawing from fearful pictures. The “evil” is only a mental image, a transient vibration of suggestion. Hide yourself in the shelter of the I AM, not by avoidance of life but by fixing your attention on the unchangeable reality that you are the inner watcher. The simple, the untrained mind, follows the surface and acts without discernment, and thus experiences the cause-and-effect of thinking unrevised thoughts. Your job is to realize that wisdom is a state you assume, not a talent you chase. Imagination creates outcomes; assume the wiser state, and the world around you adjusts to your inner order.

Practice This Now

Assume the state: I am wise now, and my heart is glad. See yourself stepping behind the inner shield of I AM, avoiding imagined harms and letting prudent awareness guide each move.
