Bible Printer's Errors: The Fools Bible

The 1763 King James version Bible is called "The Fool's Bible" because of one word substitution.  The printers were fined 3000 pounds and all copies of the edition were ordered to be destroyed.

What it said:
1 "The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, [there is] none that doeth good." Psalm 14:1
What it should have said:
1 "The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, [there is] none that doeth good." Psalm 14:1
