It isn't found in The Bible at all, but is a rap and hip-hop line, and a Broadway musical.

The earliest reference to the line I know of predates the Broadway show by decades. In James Weldon Johnson's novel, "The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man" (1912), he describes a preacher named John Brown at a "big meeting": "He struck the attitude of a pugilist and thundered out, 'Young man, yo' arm's too short to box wid God!'"
