That's where the difference lies.  The 1.5.9 you have installed is not
up to date; 1.5.11 is the current release.  Apparently, 1.5.9 is simply
eliminating line breaks, and 1.5.11 preserves them.

Most translations' prose renditions have no internally-specified line
breaks but there is in fact a fair amount of poetry in which most
translations typically do insert breaks, including Psalms, Proverbs,
Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Song, and of course some of the prophets
like Isaiah.  These will come out of recent diatheke with breaks, as the
module's markup specifies.
