Exegesis
The paired negatives create parallelism that intensifies the imagery of unbroken rest, and mishenatam {מִשְּׁנָתָם | miš-šə-nā-tām} ‘from their sleep’ employs the sleep metaphor for death.
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.
