Inner Wisdom's City Call

Proverbs 9:3-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 9 in context

Scripture Focus

3She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
4Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
5Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
6Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
Proverbs 9:3-6

Biblical Context

Proverbs 9:3-6 invites the simple to turn toward wisdom and partake of its bread and wine. Forsake folly and choose the way of understanding that leads to life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your mind, the city cries for you to turn toward the wisdom that has already prepared the feast. 'She hath sent forth her maidens' is the invitation of your inner faculties, urging you from the crowded streets of belief to the high places of awareness. When you imagine sitting at the banquet—the bread of understanding and the wine of discernment—you are not awaiting a future nourishment; you are claiming the truth of the I AM you already are. The 'simple' in the verse signals openness, not naiveté, and turning in is your decision to align your state with that higher certainty. To eat and drink is to assimilate meaning until it alters your feeling and your world; it becomes life, lived in the present as you act from the wisdom you hold. Forsake the foolish, and live is a directive you fulfill by imagining boldly, then stepping with confidence as the living proof of inner knowledge. Go in the way of understanding, and your outer world will follow the inner, luminous direction you chose.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, envision the inner city and its high places. See yourself taking bread and wine from wisdom’s banquet, feel the nourishment entering you, and silently declare, 'I am understanding now.'
