I'm not going to insult you with my code. I'm trying to get each verse from the Bible onto it's own line.

For instance, I have this block of text:

3:3 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an

offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat that covereth the

inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards, 3:4 And the two

kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the

caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.

3:5 And Aaron's sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt

sacrifice, which is upon the wood that is on the fire: it is an

offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

And I want the output to be line by line kind of like this:

3:3 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,

3:4 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.

3:5 And Aaron's sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, which is upon the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

I'm not a coder, I've never coded anything before, and I've been trying to teach myself specifically for this little project. AND I'M LOST

Update

I need to concatenate a string with the string before it as it reads. if that string doesn't start with a number
