I think you are thinking of Matthew 6:26:
Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather
into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of
more value than they?

I think the appropriate text here is 2 Thessalonians 3:10:
For even when we were with you, we would give you this command:
If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.
This text is what led Governor Bradford of the Massachusetts Colony to
change from a socialistic system to a capitolistic system and thus led
to the preservation of the Colony.
Another appropriate text is Ephesians 4:28:
Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing
honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to
share with anyone in need.
