The Reverent Eye Within

Proverbs 30:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 30 in context

Scripture Focus

17The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
Proverbs 30:17

Biblical Context

Proverbs 30:17 warns that mocking or disobeying parental guidance leads to a ruinous consequence, portrayed as inner decay. The verse symbolizes the consequences of resisting inner wisdom.

Neville's Inner Vision

That eye in Proverbs is your state of consciousness that mocks the inner Father and despises the inner Mother—the divine order within which generates form. To mock is to disobey the very law that gives life; the ravens of the valley and the young eagles are inner movements that eat away vitality when you refuse to heed guidance. Your experiences of disharmony, separation, and lack are the natural byproducts of rebellion against your own inner authorities. Now, imagine a different stance: you, the I AM, consent to the Father’s and Mother’s counsel as the binding life-law. When you assume, in feeling and imagination, that you are guided and protected by an undying Presence, the ethical critics dissolve and the energies re-direct into creation. In this new state you do not resist; you align, and your external world then begins to reflect this harmony—obedience yields nourishment; pride yields to reverent receptivity; and life returns as your inner state made visible.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, 'I am guided by the inner Father and filled by the inner Mother; I accept their discipline as the law of life.' Feel the release and then apply this stance to a current situation where you would normally resist guidance.
