Lamentations 3:57

You came close on the day I called to you,
you said, "Do not be afraid!"
[The nineteenth Hebrew letter is: ק – qof. The character depicts the eye of a needle or the back of a head and is also an image of standing behind someone and helping them. In these verses, the words "I called," "my voice," and "You came near" begin with that letter. In verse 55, one senses that the one who cries out feels as if he is behind God's head, then comes to the front and, perhaps as if through the eye of a needle, actually experiences that God both hears and responds with the comforting words "Do not be afraid."]
