origin?

[edit]

Where did the expression "no rest for the wicked" originate from? --Steerpike 16:48, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 04:50, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I added a note about the phrase's origin in the lead. --Muchness 02:33, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the note. I've looked it up, it seems that "no rest for the wicked" is actually an improper quote. 'There is no peace," my God has said, "for the wicked ones." (Iseah 57:21) Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 10:25, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, also the exact wording of the original quote differs depending on the translation. --Muchness 14:48, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You gotta love Wikipedia for this kind of articles ;) ! 194.7.166.126 (talk) 15:11, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
