Raw Blame History

Who can live and not die, or rescue his own life from the hand of Sheol?

The writer uses these questions to emphasize that all people will die. Alternate translation: "No one can live forever or bring himself back to life after dying" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)

rescue his own life from the hand of Sheol

Here "hand" refers to power. The writer speaks of Sheol as if it were a person who has power over those who die. Possible meanings are 1) a person cannot bring himself back to life after dying or 2) a person cannot keep himself from dying. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification)
