"For He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. I will not, I will not, I will not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let you down (relax My hold on you)! Assuredly not! So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm, I will not fear or dread or be terrified. What can man do to me"? (Hebrews 13:5, 6, Amp. Bible)
In the Greek and Hebrew languages statements are repeated for emphasis. There are only three places in the Bible where a truth is repeated three times for maximum emphasis: In Isaiah and Revelations the angels shout Holy, Holy, Holy, declaring God's holiness, and here in Hebrews where God declares emphatically we are never ever alone. Note that most translations do not capture this powerful statement embedded in these three negatives, but they are in the original text (reference Wuest Greek New Testament).
