What two attitudes does the tenth commandment forbid?

Answer 1

Depends on which Ten Commandments you're talking about. There's another set of Ten Commandments in the Bible, which go thusly:

1. Worship no other god than Yahweh: Make no covenant with the inhabitants of other lands to which you go, do not intermarry with them, and destroy their places of worship.
2. Do not cast idols.
3. Observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days in the month of Abib.
4. Sacrifice firstborn male animals to Yahweh. The firstborn of a donkey may be redeemed; redeem firstborn sons.
5. Do no work or even kindle a fire on the seventh day. Anyone who does so will be put to death.
6. Observe the Feast of First Fruits and the Feast of Ingathering: All males are therefore to appear before Yahweh three times each year.
7. Do not mix sacrificial blood with leavened bread.
8. Do not let the fat of offerings remain until the morning.
9. Bring the choicest first fruits of the harvest to the Temple of Yahweh.
10. Do not cook a goat in its mother's milk.

These are the only set of ten commandments, which are ever referred to in the narrative as the Ten Commandments. The others were technically never called the Ten Commandments.

So, what attitude does the Tenth Commandment forbid? I have no idea. Do not be cruel, perhaps?

Answer 2

1.an unreasonable desire (avarice) for what we do not possess
2.usury (a practice of lending to the extent that the other's sum of material means are debased or forfeited) and which action has led to a condition of slavery.

When one is prepared to employ, or does actually employ, illicit or unjust means to satisfy the desire of riches, holds to them in defiance of the strict demands of justice or charity, makes them the end rather than the means of happiness, or suffers them to interfere seriously with one's duty to God or man. Nourished and developed into an unrestricted habit, it becomes the fruitful mother of all manner of perfidy, heartlessness and unrest.
Thus defined, it is numbered among the sins which are called capital, because it is, as St. Paul says (Tim., vi)

An unjust employer can easily be guilty of this sin, both in unjust wages which are a sin that cries out to heaven and in unjust treatment of a worker (for example to avoid payment of medical or pension benefits,) or to cover fraud (which many financial people today face.)

He terms those who serve mammon "the slaves of mammon," not calling mammon God. For mammon is, according to the Jewish language, which the Samaritans do also use, a covetous man, and one who wishes to have more than he ought to have. But according to the Hebrew, it is by the addition of a syllable (adjunctive) called Mamuel, and signifies gulosum, that is, one whose gullet is insatiable. Therefore, according to both these things which are indicated, we cannot serve God and mammon.

I call your attention to the metaphor "The Lord of the Rings," by JRR Tolkein.
