Exegesis
The temporal phrase ad-bilti {עַד־בִּלְתִּי | ʿaḏ-bi-lṯî} + shamayim {שָׁמַיִם | šā-ma-yim} ‘until the heavens cease to be’ sets a hyperbolic cosmic horizon, implying ‘never’ within the present order.
In context — Job 14:12
So a man lies down and does not rise; until the heavens are no more, he will not awake, nor be roused from his sleep.
