not meet ... as a man - rather, “I will not meet a man,” that is, suffer man to intercede with me - give man an audience [Horsley]. Or, “I will not make peace with any man,” before all are destroyed. Literally, “strike a league with”; a phrase arising from the custom of striking hands together in making a compact [Maurer], (see on Pro 17:18; Pro 22:26; Pro 11:15, Margin). Or else from striking the victims sacrificed in making treaties.
