His zeal to speak I will be partial to no one This phrase reflects a commitment to impartiality and fairness, a principle deeply rooted in biblical teaching. The Hebrew word for "partial" is "נָשָׂא" (nasa), which can mean to lift up or to show favoritism. In the context of Job, Elihu, the speaker, emphasizes his intention to judge the situation without bias. This aligns with the biblical principle found in Deuteronomy 10:17, where God is described as one who "shows no partiality." Elihu's declaration serves as a reminder of the divine standard of justice, which is not swayed by personal relationships or societal status. In a broader sense, this commitment to impartiality is a call for believers to emulate God's fairness in their own lives, ensuring that their judgments and actions are guided by truth and righteousness rather than personal gain or prejudice. nor will I flatter any man Parallel Commentaries ...
