The Wicked Bible, sometimes called the Adulterous Bible or the Sinners' Bible, is an edition of the Bible meant to be a reprint of the King James Bible, published in 1631 by London royal printers Robert Barker and Martin Lucas. The name is derived from a mistake made by the compositors: in the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20:14, the word "not" was omitted from the sentence "Thou shalt not commit adultery".
