“Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.”
I will not show favoritism to any person, nor will I use flattery toward any man, asserting Elihu's commitment to honest speech without deference or flattery, suggesting that unlike humans who might adjust speech based on social status, Elihu will speak truth directly. The rejection of favoritism suggests that Elihu will not adjust his truth based on the status of his audience. The rejection of flattery suggests honest speech. The verse establishes Elihu's commitment to truth-telling.
