Inner Wisdom From Proverbs 9

Proverbs 9:10-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 9 in context

Scripture Focus

10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
11For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
12If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
Proverbs 9:10-12

Biblical Context

The passage links reverence for the divine with true understanding and promises longer, more assured days for those who choose wisdom over scorn.

Neville's Inner Vision

View Proverbs 9:10-12 through the lens of the I AM. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: not fear of punishment, but the turning of attention toward the holy within. The knowledge of the holy is understanding: when you recognize a sacred standard inside, your thoughts align and your inner calculations become clear. For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased: by dwelling in that inner state, you invite a fuller, more vivid flow of time into your experience, because you no longer live by reactive scripts but by a steady, wise mood. If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: this is self-authored causation—wisdom is an inner habit you cultivate; if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it: resistance to the living law returns as limitation. The passage invites you to acquaint yourself with a steadfast inner presence, the holy I AM, and to trust that your outer life mirrors that trust. The practice is to reside in that inner permission and let it govern your days.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume the state, 'I AM wisdom governing my days'; when doubt arises, revise the scene to reflect this inner ruler and feel it real.
