Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
'May I never accept,' etc. Elihu alludes to Job's words (Job 13:8; Job 13:10), wherein be complains that the friends plead for God partially, "accepting His person." Elihu says he will not do so, but act impartially between God and Job. 'And I will not give flattery,' etc. (Proverbs 24:23, "It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.")
