He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.
The covetous life is marked by greedy desire that does not rest but continues through all the day long. Against it stands the righteous life, defined by openhanded giving rather than grasping. Such righteousness does not give sparingly or with reservation but gives freely without holding back. The contrast is therefore between persistent craving on the one side and unrestrained generosity on the other.
