There are some very heavily-used Bibles that have *extremely* different
numbering schemes.  As one example, the NAB (New American Bible,
copyright US Conference of Catholic Bishops) is the primary translation
read aloud in RC churches in the USA today.  It restructures verse order
in many sections of the OT.  See the USCCB's site for one extreme example:
http://www.usccb.org/nab/bible/job/job28.htm

There are lots of instances of more minor restructuring, and if memory
serves correctly.
