And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.

Verse 33 is found in chapter 11 of Numbers. God provides quail in abundance, but the fulfillment of the people’s disordered desire is accompanied by judgment. The place is named Kibroth-hattaavah, associated with the burial of those overcome by craving. The account presents a tension between provision and judgment: receiving what one demands does not necessarily mean that the desire was morally right.

Da aber das Fleisch noch unter ihren Zähnen war und ehe es aufgezehrt war, da ergrimmte der Zorn des HERRN unter dem Volk, und schlug sie mit einer sehr großen Plage.
Aun estaba la carne entre los dientes de ellos, antes que fuese mascada, cuando el furor de Jehová se encendió en el pueblo, e hirió Jehová al pueblo con una muy grande plaga.
Comme la chair était encore entre leurs dents sans être mâchée, la colère de l'Eternel s'enflamma contre le peuple, et l'Eternel frappa le peuple d'une très grande plaie.
Essi aveano ancora la carne fra’ denti, e non era ancora mancata, quando l’ira del Signore si accese contro al popolo; e il Signore percosse il popolo d’una piaga grandissima.
Quando a carne estava entre os seus dentes, antes que fosse mastigada, se acendeu a ira do SENHOR contra o povo, e feriu o SENHOR o povo com uma praga mui grande.
但肉在他們牙間還未咀嚼時,耶和華的怒氣向百姓發作,用極重的災禍擊殺百姓。
