That's a folk proverb not a biblical statement.

Light a man a fire and he'll be warm for a night. Light a man on fire and he'll be warm the rest of his life.

Indeed. And here are a couple of culturally updated paraphrases from the Living Folk Proverb Bible:
"The old adage about giving a man a fish versus teaching him how to fish has been updated by a reader: Give a man a fish and he will ask for tartar sauce and French fries. Moreover, some politician who wants his vote will declare all these things to be among his 'basic rights.'" - Thomas Sowell
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Talk to a man about fishing and you can charge him an hourly rate for consulting." - Anonymous

Uh? Are you sure that’s how the last part goes? Isn’t “Teach a man to light a fire…” Because if you light someone on fire they’ll be screaming and feeling burning hot 🥵 🔥 for a few minutes because there might not be much life left 😂

Not a mistake… it’s dark humor.

Give a man Logos and he’ll ask how things work. Teach a man to use Logos and he’ll complain non-stop about what he doesn’t like [;)]

This one says the fish can teach the man:
Job 12:7-8 NIV said:"But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you."
