What are the dangers of coveting?
"Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!" - Isaiah 5:8 KJV.

God have provided us plenty. We have wonderful resources to feed all the people in this world. However, coveting and greediness corrupts the heart, and that is why we have poor among us, not because God did not care for the poor.
God has provided us plenty, we just need to distribute and contribute and love one another...we all have the job to do.

I guess they would. If you look at it great or small rich or poor. Coveting is the root of most crime. A person has a new car and some one wants it, they steal it. Coveting was the start of that sin rather it be wanting a woman that belongs to some one else or somebodies property, Stealing or murder is the end result.
It is easy for some one to say ya the rich would steal from the poor everything they can. We need to evaluate our own lives and see what do we covet. We can not control what others do and are not called into account for the actions of others.

Look what happens when one part of the world covets the oil in another part of the world.
