I think you should be able to achieve what you're after if you split the table at each chapter and, perhaps, put the chapter numbers between the split tables. That should also help with alignment issues - as would having a separate table row for each verse or paragraph within each chapter.

As for your footer formatting, you should use tabs with appropriately formatted tab stops instead of spaces for the layout. You also seem to have many unnecessary trailing spaces after the last number.
