Solomon’s Crooked Crown

The wind also said, "O Solomon, do not go astray, and if you do, do not be angry with me for being crooked.  
This scale was set by God so that justice may lead us forward.  
If you reduce from the scale, I will reduce as well; if you are clear with me, I will be clear with you.  
Eight times he straightened it, and it became crooked again. He asked, "Why is it ultimately crooked?"  
It replied, "Even if you straighten me a hundred times, I will become crooked if you go astray, O confident one."  
Then Solomon straightened his inner self, cooling his heart from the desire that had overtaken him.  
After that, his crown immediately became straight, just as he wanted it to be.  
Then he intentionally made it crooked again, but the crown would straighten itself on his head.

That enemy was in the house of the blind-hearted one, killing the children.  
You were outwardly bad with others, yet inwardly pleased with your heavy soul.  
Your enemy is within, yet you give it sweetness, while outwardly blaming everyone else.  
Like Pharaoh, you are blind and heartless, friendly with the enemy, oppressing the innocent.  
How long, O Pharaoh, will you kill the innocent without guilt, while you pamper the body full of pride?  
His wisdom surpassed that of kings, yet God's decree made him blind and foolish.  
God's love blinds the eyes and ears of the wise; even if he is Plato, it turns him into an animal.
