I am no preacher, but, am a prime sinner and living in this world in HIS mercy. For a sinner like me too, when I read “The Holy Bible” KJV, the following verses were given in the context of “Covet(ous)”.
Exo 18:21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men,
such as fear God, men of truth,
hating covetousness;
and place such over them,
to be rulers of thousands,
and rulers of hundreds,
rulers of fifties,
and rulers of tens:
18:22 And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be,
that every great matter they shall bring unto thee,
but every small matter they shall judge:
so shall it be easier for thyself,
and they shall bear the burden with thee.

every one is given to covetousness;

thine end is come,
