Hebrews 13:5 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Hebrews 13:5

3 ^aRemember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also.

4 ^aMarriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; ^bbut fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, ^a“I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

6 So we may boldly say:
^a“The Lord is my helper;
I will not fear.
What can man do to me?”

It is therefore like a divine adage. What was said to them, extends also to us. He will neither withdraw His presence ("never leave thee") nor His help ("nor forsake thee") [BENGEL].
