Prov 14:17

*           17 Those who are short-tempered do foolish things, and schemers are hated.

NLT

-          * It appears that being short tempered has some of the same affects as being drunk. It causes someone to do dumb things they would never do if they were thinking clearly.

-          This verse does go on though. There are those who blow up and are out of control after an offense.  But this verse also mentions those that hold back their anger, but don’t let it go–those who start scheming on how they can take there revenge. Don’t be short tempered or a schemer.  Forgive like God forgave you. Ps 103:12, Love like you are loved. Prov 10:12; Matt 28:22-35

-          Eph 4:26; vs 29

Grrr…ANGER!

Prov 22:24-25

Do not make friends with a hot-tempered man, do not associate with one easily angered, 25 or you may learn his ways and get yourself ensnared. NIV

-        Being hot tempered is a learned behavior. If it is learned it can be changed. One is not stuck with a certain temper all his or her life.

-         vs 25 calls it a snare. A temper is one of the traps of the devil.

-         Eph 4:26; Prov 13:20
