Exegesis
The strong denial is formed by the double negation ou mē {οὐ μή | ou mē} plus the aorist subjunctive verbs anō {ἀνῶ | a-nô} and egkataleipō {ἐγκαταλίπω | en-ka-ta-lí-pō}, creating a forceful promise: ‘I will certainly not leave…nor will I ever forsake.’ Parallelism heightens the assurance, rendered in English by ‘never…nor will I ever.’

In context — Hebrews 13:5
Let your way of life be free from the love of money, being content with the things you have; for He Himself has said, “I will never leave you, nor will I ever forsake you.”
