Job 14:12

So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.

KJV

sic homo, cum dormierit, non resurget : donec atteratur cælum, non evigilabit, nec consurget de somno suo.

Vulgate

ἄνθρωπος δὲ κοιμηθεὶς οὐ μὴ ἀναστῇ ἕως ἂν ὁ οὐρανὸς οὐ μὴ συνραφῇ, καὶ οὐκ ἐξυπνισθήσονται ἐξ ὕπνου αὐτῶν.

LXX

So man lieth down and riseth not: Till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, Nor be roused out of their sleep.
