Best Answer

This is the last of the ten commandments. It forbade wrong desire of others property and possessions, including the wife of your neighbor.

No human government could make and enforce such a law, so this would make each of us accountable to Jehovah God for our actions. He can see in our hearts and we can't hide anything from him.

It also speaks to what we know as GREED.
