Someone who reaches a state of anger is liable to make mistakes. A proverb against anger, which causes one to make errors.

(Rabbi Elazar ben Azariah says: 'In three places Moses came under the influence of anger and came under the influence of error' – Sifrei Bamidbar Matot Kanaz. And likewise: 'Because Moses came under the influence of anger, he came under the influence of error, for the laws of purging the belongings of idol worshippers became hidden from him' – Rashi on Bamidbar 31:21)
