Flattery is iniquity: to give flattering titles unto men is to transgress the Law of God.
Flattery is iniquity: to give flattering titles unto men is to transgresse the Law of God.
Some will not give true and due Titles to any man; The most truly honourable persons and highest Magistrates, shall have nothing from them but Thou and Thee. Jacob a holy and a plain man, yet called his own brother, My Lord Esau, (Gen. 32.4. Gen: 33.8.) Luke The Evangelist called Theophilus, Most excellent (Luke 1.3.) And Paul styled Festus, Most Noble (Acts 26.25.) Now as they err upon one extreme, who will not give true titles, so do they on the other, who give (which Elihu here disclaims) flattering titles. There is a two-fold flattery.
