Proverbs 28:16

Learn to hate covetousness, not things. Consciously study, meditate upon, and observe what covetousness produces. It violates the basic principle of God's way of outgoing concern. Coveting keeps us from thinking like and listening to God. Being aware of the trajectory of a thought can help us avoid allowing it to have its way in our lives.

John W. Ritenbaugh
The Tenth Commandment (1998)
