Exodus 20 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

20 And God spoke all these words, saying:
2 “I am the Lord thy God, who have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 “Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.
4 “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I, the Lord thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me,
6 and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me and keep My commandments.
7 “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.
8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work;
10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. In it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates.
11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
12 “Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
13 “Thou shalt not kill.
14 “Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 “Thou shalt not steal.
16 “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
17 “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house; thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor’s.”

Kosciuszko's Advice to a Youth To do honor to your family and yourself and at my recommendation, you must reread what follows every day so that it will be engraved on your memory on which your well being will depend. Rise at four in the summer and six in the winter. Your first thoughts must be directed towards the Supreme Being; worship Him for a few minutes. Set yourself to work with reflection and intelligence, either at your prescribed duty carried out in the most scrupulous manner, or perfect yourself in some science in which you should have true mastery. Avoid lying under any circumstances in your life, but always be frank and loyal and always tell the truth. Never be idle but be sober and frugal even hard on yourself while indulgent to others. Do not be vain nor an egotist (1763 https://www.etymonline.com/word/egoist). Before speaking or answering on something, reflect and consider well in order not to lose your point and say something stupid. Never fail to give due recogniti...

This case from SCOTUS.BLOG is an interesting one for a law scholar. IMHO the Justices will earn their keep writing their decisions on this case.  I hope they decide for the Government here.  In my view Congress in the wake of financial collapse of Wall Street acts in good faith to create oversight and penalties for money traders. It is IMHO the pure design of money traders to invent new ways around the laws Congress makes for their self interest of making money. And therfor Congress acting in The Peoples' behalf to protect The Peoples' 'Happiness' in their hard earned money is well founded.  It is my worry that the present SCOTUS with it's Super Funded Republican backers will side for the Wall Street Hounds and their circumnavigation of Congress' law and not We the People and our at risk 401k's.    CASES  EMERGENCY DOCKET PETITIONS STATISTICS NEWSFEED  ABOUT      PETITIONS OF THE WEEK Another federal agency challenges adverse ruling by 5...
