Contextual Overview

⁹ The warriors of Ephraim, though armed with bows, turned their backs and fled on the day of battle. ¹⁰ They did not keep God's covenant and refused to live by his instructions. ¹¹ They forgot what he had done— the great wonders he had shown them, ¹² the miracles he did for their ancestors on the plain of Zoan in the land of Egypt. ¹³ For he divided the sea and led them through, making the water stand up like walls! ¹⁴ In the daytime he led them by a cloud, and all night by a pillar of fire. ¹⁵ He split open the rocks in the wilderness to give them water, as from a gushing spring. ¹⁶ He made streams pour from the rock, making the waters flow down like a river! ¹⁷ Yet they kept on sinning against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert. ¹⁸ They stubbornly tested God in their hearts, demanding the foods they craved.

But: Numbers 11:33, Numbers 11:34, Numbers 22:20-22, Proverbs 1:32, Luke 16:19-23

Reciprocal: Job 20:23 - he is about Psalms 106:14 - But Ezekiel 7:19 - they shall not Daniel 5:5 - the same Luke 12:20 - God 1 Corinthians 11:30 - many 1 John 2:16 - the lust of the flesh

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

They were not estranged from their lust - literally, “They were not made strangers to;” that is, in regard to their lusts or desires they were not in the condition of “foreigners” or aliens; they were not separated from them. The word “lusts” here means “desires, wishes.” It is not used here in the restricted sense in which it is now with us. The reference is to their desire for food different from manna - for flesh; and the idea is, that they did not restrain their intense desire even when it should have been fully satisfied. They indulged to excess, and the consequence was that many of them perished.

But while their meat was yet in their mouths - Even while they were eating, and were indulging in this unrestrained manner.
