# you will not turn away from my face ... I will not turn away from your face
Turning from the face of someone is a metonym for refusing to look at someone, which in turn is a metonym for refusing to do what that person requests. See how you translated similar words in [1 Kings 2:16](../02/16.md) and [1 Kings 2:17](../02/17.md). Alternate translation: "you will not refuse to do what I request ... I will not refuse to do what you request" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
