Footnotes

  1. 43 The idiom is “I will not lift up the face of a man.” Elihu is going to show no favoritism, but speak his mind.
  2. 44 The verb means “to confer an honorary title; to give a mark of distinction,” but it is often translated with the verb “flatter.” Elihu will not take sides, he will not use pompous titles.
