Covetousness is wanting something that belongs to someone else. Since God created us, we belong to Him. Therefore, He cannot covet us. On the other hand, God created man with freedom of will. We can choose to put other things before God. God wants to love us and wants us to love Him so passionately that He can’t ‘share’ us with another ‘god.’ That’s why He calls himself jealous.
