Sometimes the translators feel that the verse ordering in the original  
is incorrect or just doesn't make sense. Thus they will reorder their  
verses in the translation but keep the verse numbers of the "original"  
text. Thus you will have scenarios just like your example.

Also, at leaston translation I know of has at least 2 concurrent  
versing schemes simultaneously. The Jerusalem bible has passages where  
it will have a KJV like scheme as well as the LXX scheme. I presume  
Sword can't handle that situation.
