Prosperity with a Curse
Commentators highlight a sobering truth: God granted the Israelites' sinful craving for meat, but it came with a curse. As Charles Spurgeon notes, 'Affliction with a blessing is far better than prosperity with a curse.' This verse serves as a warning that getting what we want outside of God's will can be a form of judgment, not a blessing.
