Yeah, it is in the 10 Commandments. It isn't so much that wanting things is bad, but when you get preoccupied with things it is. Also, being jealous or envious of what others have affects how you treat that person, almost always in a negative manner.

Yes. A christian should try not to be jealous of someone else but rather be happy for them and whatever prosperity is causing this jealousy.

---Paul told the people in the Corinthian church, "You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men?" I Cor 3:3
---Romans 13:13 says, "Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy."
---It is not wrong to want something like something that someone else has or gets, but it is wrong to wish that you had it instead of them. If there is something you want that someone else has, you should ask God for one like it. If there is nothing else like it, you should be loving and be glad for that other person.

If you compare yourself to others you will become vain and bitter for there will always be greater and lesser persons than yourself

Yes, it is because it consumes you and does not bring up anything but destruction and hate.
