The soul of the sluggard
The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied. (Pro 13:4)
“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s."(Exo 20:17)
In our Bibles coveting is an interesting concept, but itself it simply sounds like desire. But in the contexts the word appears, it clearly means desire out of proportion and intention to have/take what one cannot have.
