Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
(Occurrence 0) Though they dig into Sheol, there my hand will take them. Though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring them down
(Some words not found in UHB: if dig in/on/at/with,sheol from=there hand_of,my take,them and=if climb_up the=heavens from=there bring_~_down,them )
Yahweh uses an exaggerated image of people fleeing to Sheol or heaven to try to escape being killed. Alternate translation: “Even if they were to flee to Sheol or to heaven, they would not be able to escape me”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
(Occurrence 0) there my hand will take them
(Some words not found in UHB: if dig in/on/at/with,sheol from=there hand_of,my take,them and=if climb_up the=heavens from=there bring_~_down,them )
Here “hand” represents Yahweh’s power. Alternate translation: “I will pull them up from there”
9:2 to the place of the dead (literally to Sheol): In the Old Testament, Sheol is a place beneath the earth where the dead have their abode.
OET (OET-LV) If they_will_dig in/on/at/with_shəʼōl from_there hand_of_my take_them and_if they_will_go_up the_heavens from_there bring_down_them.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
