Is the phrase 'God watch over babies and fools' in the Bible?

Answer 1

There is no quote in The Bible "God watches out for fools and little children." You can search the King James Version online for yourself to be sure. I Peter 5:7 "Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you" represents God's true character and nature, a loving God who encourages the believer to petition God with all cares, problems, perplexities, questions, without reservation and it will not intimidate Him. He will provide a solution, a way and that way is through the Cross of the Saviour. When a child of God accepts the sacrifice of Christ who took the sinner's place, he receives forgiveness for sin and there is no more separation from God the Father. In all humility and with unspeakable reverent awe, a true miracle takes place in the believer's heart and he becomes a new creation, restored in fellowship with His Saviour and God the Father. Now the Father entreats the believer to approach Him boldly and not be shy about sharing the things that are bothering him, and like a father who pities his children and wants to care and provide for their needs, God the Father will take care of His children, too. This is not religion. This is a relationship. Religion mandates that followers prescribe to rules and regulations to control behavior to make them acceptable to God the Father. But that is not life, and all the efforts of a sincere person will never be able to replace or supplant the perfect atonement accomplished when the Saviour went to the Cross. Through the Lord's death and resurrection, anyone who accepts Christ (Yeshua) as Lord is now accepted in the beloved, anyone, any sinner. This is the new beginning, the new birth.

AnswerGod looks after and protects both babies and people of low IQ who will always be like a child. In His mercy, such people will automatically go straight to heaven. However, there is more than one definition of a 'fool': God defines a 'fool' as: "The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God" (in Psalm 14:1 & Psalm 53:1); He does not watch over this type of fool.

Answer 2

No it is not anywhere in the bible. It is just a saying that people have been using. Search the KJV to see for yourself.

Additional Comments:

Though not biblical, perhaps you are thinking of this:

Romans 2:20-21

New International Version (NIV)

20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of little children, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth- 21 you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?

Answer 3

The closest that one may get to the idea behind this statement is Psalm 116:6. Several translations refer to how God looks after the simple, the unwary, the childlike, the helpless. It may not be an actual verse, but there is some wisdom in their understanding that if there is hope for babes & fools, surely there is hope for me.
