Fragments on the Psalms · §34 · Origen of Alexandria
Psalm 7:17 — his injustice will come down on his crown; the crown is the mind
“And on his crown his injustice will come down” (Psalm 7:16).
The crown now signifies the mind, if the crown of grace, according to Solomon, which is wisdom, is bound to the crown (Proverbs 4:9).
Greek
7.17
Καὶ ἐπὶ κορυφὴν αὐτοῦ ἡ ἀδικία αὐτοῦ καταβήσεται. ̔Η κορυφὴ νῦν τὸν νοῦν
σημαίνει, ει περ ὁ στέφανος τῆς χάριτος, κατὰ τὸν Σωλο μῶντα, η τις ἡ σοφία,
δέδεται τῇ κορυφῇ.
