Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
לֹ֣א יָדַ֣עְתִּי אֲכַנֶּ֑ה
not I_know flatter
This could mean: (1) that Elihu is using the word know in the sense of being acquainted with something. He may mean that this is not his custom. Alternate translation: “it is not my custom to address people by honorary titles” (2) that Elihu is saying that he is not skilled at giving titles. Alternate translation: “I am not very good at giving titles” or “I am not very good at flattery”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
כִּ֝מְעַ֗ט יִשָּׂאֵ֥נִי עֹשֵֽׂנִי
as,soon take_~_away,me maker,my
When Elihu says that his Maker (God) would take him away if he flattered people, he is referring to death in a poetic way. He means that God would punish him by killing him. Your language may have a similar expression that you could use in your translation. Alternate translation: “my Maker would do away with me”
