Given the translational variants, even without studying the Hebrew, I could pretty well piece together why the ESV was rendered as it was. (But thank you Fred for posting the material.) Still, putting "..." into a translation seems like the strangest way to present the material. It is completely unreadable. How would you read that section in the public reading of Scripture?
{opinion on} I kind of lean toward the idea that is bit irresponsible of them. Even if the KJV/NKJV are in error, they are readable, even if difficult. Sorry, elipses indicate "something is missing here," not "we're unsure of the text here." That is irresponsible. I even prefer a NIV LXX (late) insertion over elipses. Those elipses represent to me a philosophy (or a theology) of transmission I cannot accept. {opinion off}
