Psalms 78:30 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 78:30

They were not estranged from their lust
By the goodness and liberality of God unto them, they were not brought to repentance for their sin of lusting; nor did they abstain from their fleshly lusts, or deny themselves of them, which the grace of God teaches to do; or else the sense is, what they lusted after, flesh, was not withheld from them, or they restrained from eating it; they were indulged with it for a whole month together; to which agrees what follows:

but while their meat was yet in their mouths;
the meat of the quails, while it was between their teeth, ere it was chewed, and before it was swallowed down, while they were rolling this sweet morsel under their tongues, and were gorging themselves with it, destruction came upon them, as follows; just as Belshazzar, while he was feasting with his nobles, in the midst of his mirth and jollity, was slain by the Persians, ( Daniel 5:1-30 ) .

Psalms 78:30 In-Context

28 He felled them in the midst of their camp, all around their dwellings.
29 So they ate and were well filled, for He gave them what they craved.
30 Yet before they had filled their desire, with the food still in their mouths,
31 God’s anger flared against them, and He put to death their strongest and subdued the young men of Israel.
32 In spite of all this, they kept on sinning; despite His wonderful works, they did not believe.
