It's a spin off from the phrase, "no rest for the wicked" which is a spin off from the Book of Isaiah 57:21 "There is no peace," says my God, "to the wicked."

Psalm 15 has the opposite where the weary get rest.

Jeremiah 45: is kind of close to it but not really.

I don't think it's a Bible quote I did a search and couldn't find it.

Here's a good verse I did find though:
Victory Over the Darkness - 5. Becoming the Spiritual Person God Wants You to Be - Parameters of the Spirit-Filled Walk -


"Did that dumb dog ever learn to walk by its master?" you ask. No, it never did, and I have met a lot of Christians who haven't either. Some try to run ahead of God and burn out. Others fall into temptation and stray off to the left or the right.

Some just drop out even though their Master is saying, "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). We can find rest for our souls if we learn to live by faith in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Isn't it a proverb?
