Choose thee: - Whether, for three years, there be famine, Or, for three months, that thou flee before thine adversaries, while the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee, Or, for three days, the sword of Yahweh, and pestilence be in the land, with, the messenger of Yahweh, laying waste throughout all the boundary of Israel, - Now, therefore, see, what, answer, I shall return unto him that sent me.

Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, - Do not think in thine own soul, to escape in the house of the king from among all the Jews.

If, pure and upright, thou thyself, art, surely, now, will he answer thy prayer, and will prosper thy righteous habitation:

If he choose to contend with him, he cannot answer him, one of a thousand:

How much less that, I, should answer him, should choose my words with him?

Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, to be absolved, I would make supplication.

For he is not a man like myself, whom I might answer, nor could we come together into judgment:

Then call thou, and, I, will answer, Or I will speak, and reply thou unto me.

Thou shouldst call, and, I, would answer thee, - For the work of thine own hand, thou shouldst long.

Should, a wise man, answer unreal knowledge? or fill, with the east wind, his inner man?

Lo! I cry - out: Violence! but receive no answer, I cry aloud, but there is no vindication;

To mine own servant, I called, and he would not answer, With mine own mouth, I kept entreating him;

Not so, do my thoughts answer me, and to this end, is my haste within me:

I cry out for help unto thee, and thou dost not answer, I stand still, and thou dost gaze at me;

Oh that I had one to hear me, Lo! my crossmark, May, the Almighty, answer me! And would that, a book, mine opponent had written!

Yea, unto you, gave I diligent heed, - But lo! there was, for Job, nothing to convince, nor could you of you answer his speeches.

If thou art able to answer me, Set in order before me - take thy stand!

Lo! in this, thou hast not been right - let me answer thee, For, GOD, is greater than, man.

I, will answer thee plainly, and thy friends with thee.

Shall a reprover contend, with the Almighty? He that disputeth with GOD, let him answer it!

When I cry, answer me, O mine own righteous God, In a strait place, thou hast made room for me, Show me favour, and hear my prayer.

Have regard! answer me O Yahweh my God, - Light up mine eyes, lest I sleep on into death:

I, have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O GOD, - Incline thine ear unto me, Hear thou my speech:

Yahweh answer thee, in the day of distress, The Name of the God of Jacob give thee safety;

Yahweh, hath saved the king. Answer us, then, on the day when we call.

My God! I keep crying - By day, and thou dost not answer, and, By night, and there is no rest for me.

Hear, O Yahweh, With my voice, do I cry, Oh then show me favour and answer me.

Because, for thee, O Yahweh, have I waited, Thou, wilt answer, O Adonay, my God!

By things reverend in righteousness, wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of the sea far away;

But, as for me, my prayer shall be unto thee, O Yahweh, in a time of acceptance, O God, in the abounding of thy lovingkindness, answer me with thy saving faithfulness.

Answer me, O Yahweh, for good is thy lovingkindness, According to the abounding of thy compassions, turn thou towards me:

Then do not hide thy face from thy servant, Because I am in distress, haste thou - answer me!

Bow down, O Yahweh, thine ear - answer me, For, oppressed and needy, am I;

In the day of my distress, will I call upon thee, For thou wilt answer me.

He shall call me, and I will answer him, With him, will, I, be, in distress, I will rescue him, and will honour him;

To the end thy beloved ones may be delivered, Oh save thou with thy right hand and answer me!

My ways, I recounted, and thou didst answer me, Teach me thy statutes.

So shall I have something to answer him that reproacheth me, That I have trusted in thy word.

[KOPH] I have cried out with all my heart, answer me, O Yahweh; Thy statutes, will I observe.

In the day I cried unto thee, then didst thou answer me, and didst excite me, in my soul, mightily.

Then, will they call me, but I will not answer, they will seek me diligently, but shall not find me.

A soft answer, turneth away wrath, but a cutting word raiseth anger.

A man hath joy, in the answer of his own mouth, and, a word in its season, - how good!

The heart of the righteous, studieth to answer, but, the mouth of the lawless, belcheth out mischiefs.

To man, belong the preparations of the heart, but, from Yahweh, cometh the answer of the tongue.

Do not answer a dullard, according to his folly, lest, even thou thyself, become like him;

Answer a dullard according to his folly, lest he become wise in his own eyes.

Wiser is the sluggard in his own eyes, than, seven persons, who can answer with judgment.

Be wise, my son, and rejoice my heart, that I may answer him that reproacheth me in a matter.

By words, a servant will not be corrected, though he perceiveth, yet is there no answer.

Make shrill thy voice, O daughter of Gallim! Hearken, O Laishah, Answer, O Anathoth!

And jackals shall answer, in their citadels, And wild dogs, in their voluptuous palaces, - And near to come is her time, And, her days, shall not be delayed.

All of them, answer, and say to thee, - Thou too, made strengthless, as we! Unto us, art thou like!

What, then, shall one answer the messengers of a nation? That Yahweh, hath founded Zion, And in her, shall seek refuge the oppressed of his people.

But they held their peace, and answered him not a word, - for the command of the king, it was, saying, - Ye must not answer him.

As for the oppressed and the needy. Seeking water when there is none, Their tongue with thirst being parched I - Yahweh, will answer them, The God of Israel, I will not forsake them:

So I look, And there is not, a Man! Even among these And there is none to advise, - That, when I ask them, can answer a word.

They carry him about on the shoulder They bear the burden of him - and set him in his place that he may stand, - Out of his place, will he not move, - Though one even make outcry unto him, he will not answer, Out of ones trouble, he will not save him.

Wherefore, When I came in, was there no one? When I called, was there none to answer? Is mine own hand, really shortened, that it cannot redeem? Or is there not, in me, strength to deliver? Lo! by my rebuke, I dry up the sea I make rivers a desert, Their fish Stinketh, for want of water, Yea dieth, for thirst:

Then, shalt thou Call, and Yahweh, will answer, Cry out, and he will say, Behold me! If thou remove, out of thy midst the yoke, The pointing of the finger, and The speaking of iniquity;

And it shall come to pass - That before they call, I, will answer, And while yet they are speaking, I, will hear.

I, also, will choose the things that vex them. And the things they dread, will I bring upon them, Because - I called and there was none to answer, I spake, and they hearkened not, - But did that which was wicked in mine eyes, And of that wherein I delighted not, made choice.

Therefore shalt thou speak unto them all these words, Though they do not hearken unto thee, - And thou shalt cry aloud unto them Though they do not answer thee; -
