Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ...
I became interested in the word "covetousness" and looked this up in dictionary and saw a revealing definition showing that which causes covetousness:
"covetousness: eager or excessive desire, especially for wealth or possessions. Social media so often encourages us to compare ourselves to others, inspiring covetousness and insecurity."
And I recalled the following scripture:
II Corinthians 10:12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
