Ten Commandments - Millennial Redux

Lo, snowflake!

The Ten Commandments appear in three different versions in the Bible, in Deuteronomy 5:6–21 and twice in Exodus, namely 20:2–17 and the 'Ritual Decalogue' of 34:11–26.

Different editions of the book may use different words or more archaic grammar, but in current times they're generally accepted to be as they're written below (in grey).

I wondered what a simplified, modern interpretation of each one might be, because the times demand it (those ones are in orange). It's for fun, so don't get your subligaculums in a twist over it. Satire is good. Tyranny is bad. Don't confuse them.
