S – A man of quick temper acts foolishly, and a man of evil devices is hated. 

Proverbs  14:17 ESV

O – Commentary:

Quick-tempered connects this verse with the preceding one. Such a person does foolish things (cf. v. 29; 15:18). “Flying off the handle”—not controlling one’s temper—causes a person to do and say ridiculous things, which he may later regret and be unable to undo. Even more difficult to live or work with is a person who is crafty (cf. 12:2) or scheming (mezimmâh; see comments on 1:4). A person who schemes and works underhandedly to get his way and to oppose others is hated by others because he is untrustworthy. He goes astray

 Sid S. Buzzell, “Proverbs,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures, ed. J. F. Walvoord and R. B. Zuck, vol. 1 (Wheaton, IL: Victor Books, 1985), 935.

A – It is interesting that both the quick temper and evil devices erode trust with that individual.  You cannot trust a person if you are unsure of the ability to handle a situation.  Same with a scheming person – you will always wonder “what is their angle or purpose?”  Great wisdom for us to evaluate ourselves and those in our inner circle.  Both qualities are detrimental to building trust with others.

R – Heavenly Father, we worship and surrender to you.  Help us to grow in our ability to be trusted.  We want to be slow to anger like you are and honest in our plans.  Empower us to eliminate any traces of this in our lives.  Also, help us to recognize it in others and love them enough to share it with them honestly.
