Not Coveting
1,Coveting, unjustly brings destroying
family, blames instant
2.Dishonoring unjustness undo wickedness
loving coveting gains.
3.Loving eternal delights undo
wickedness favoring instant-joy.
4.Sensible innocent intellect though
poor never covet.
5.What use, intelligence? If
doing unworthy coveting.
6.If righteous devices crimes
for coveting,deterirate.
7.Hate coveting gains, when
yielding, rarely well.
8.Not loosing wealth is
not to covet.
9.Fortune pursues uncovetous, wise
depends upon worthiness.
10.Consequence of coveting falls
Pride uncovetous succeeds.
