This is not an error - it is removed from many versions based upon text criticism - see NRSV, NAB, NET, NJB . . .
Here's the text-critical note on that missing verse from the NET Bible:
Thanks for clarifying. I didn't realize that. Are there other verses like this? Why isn't anything returned for verse 17? Even to say that it's been omitted.
from Wikipedia:
NIV omits
O = omitted in main text. B = bracketed in the main text – The translation team and most biblical scholars today believe were not part of the original text. However, these texts have been retained in brackets in the NASB and the Holman CSB.[30] F = omission noted in the footnote. B+F = bracketed in the main text and omission noted in the footnote.
In some versions, there is a footnote or typographical feature to clarify the status of verse 17. In other versions, all mention of the verse is omitted.
I would prefer a footnote or something like that, since a verse number is skipped.

It is almost inexcusable that any Bible textual committee would choose to excise a verse without an explanation. Whether it belongs or does not, it is practically malpractice to not explain the decision and the condition which warranted it to the reader-patient.
