日子如何力量也如何的意思

"日子如何,力量也如何"這句話出自《聖經》舊約的《約伯記》,原文是:「For there is hope for a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the dust; Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant. But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he? As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up: So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor stir themselves out of their sleep. O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands. For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin? My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity. And as a stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; so the provocation of him that is at ease is weighty. Wilt thou not from this time keep me in mind, through all the years of the earth? Or hast thou utterly cast off the labour of thine hands, and is thy mouth closed in displeasure? Hast thou not made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. Thou shalt be blessed above all mine enemies: and their substance shall not be spared in the day of their calamity. The thing that I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.」 (Job 14:7-19 KJV)

這句話的意思是,就像樹木被砍伐後還會再發芽生長一樣,人的生命雖然會終結,但也會有希望再次復活。這句話表達了約伯對生命和死亡的看法,他認為即使人在世上的生命會結束,但仍有希望在未來得到復活和新生。同時,這句話也反映了古代以色列人的信仰,他們相信上帝掌管一切,包括生命和死亡,因此即使在最困難的情況下,也有希望和信心去面對。
