James 4:2
You crave what you do not have; you kill and covet, but are unable to obtain it. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
You lust, and don’t have. You kill, covet, and can’t obtain. You fight and make war. You don’t have, because you don’t ask.

Ye lust{G1937}{(G5719)}, and{G2532} have{G2192}{(G5719)} not{G3756}: ye kill{G5407}{(G5719)}, and{G2532} desire to have{G2206}{(G5719)}, and{G2532} cannot{G3756}{G1410}{(G5736)} obtain{G2013}{(G5629)}: ye fight{G3164}{(G5736)} and{G2532} war{G4170}{(G5719)}, yet{G1161} ye have{G2192}{(G5719)} not{G3756}, because{G1223} ye{G5209} ask{G154}{(G5733)} not{G3361}.
Strong's King James
(2) You lustfully desire and don't have to commit murder, envious and can't obtain, so you fight and make war. You don't have because of you not asking!
The F.O.G*
[2] You want something but don't get it, so you scheme and struggle for it. You covet what others have, but still can't obtain it. You quarrel and fight. You don't have because you don't ask God.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
ye desire, and ye have not; ye murder, and are zealous, and are not able to attain; ye fight and war, and ye have not, because of your not asking;
