What it means

A person always wants to eat enough to satisfy them, not a small, meaningless amount, just as a hyena that gnaws on a toad through the night instead of a whole goat has gotten nothing worth having, and goes hungry.

Word for word

(It means just) rinsing the mouth, a small locust cannot feed a hyena.
