'Answer' in the Bible

If he wants to contend with him, he cannot answer him one [time] in a thousand.

{How much less} can I myself answer him? [How] can I choose my words with him,

whom I cannot answer, even though I am righteous? From my judge I must implore grace.

If I summon [him], and he should answer me, I do not believe that he will listen to my voice--

"For [he is] not a mortal like me [that] I can answer him, [that] {we can come to trial together}.

Then call, and I myself will answer; or let me speak, then reply to me.

You would call, and I myself would answer you; you would long for the work of your hand.

"Should [the] wise answer [with] windy knowledge, and should he fill his stomach [with the] east wind?

[Is there] a limit to windy words? What provokes you that you answer?

I call to my servant, but he does not answer; I must {personally} plead with him.

I want to know [the] words [with which] he would answer me, and I want to understand what he would say to me.

I cry to you for help, but you do not answer me; I stand, and you [merely] look at me.

then what shall I do when God rises up? And when he enquires, how shall I answer him?

{O that} {I had} someone hearing me! Here is my signature; let Shaddai answer me! {As for} [the] written communication [that] {my adversary} has written,

and {he became angry} at his three friends because they had not found an answer, and they had declared Job guilty.

When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men, {he became angry}.

But he did not direct [his] words to me, and I will not answer him with your words.

"They are dismayed; they no longer answer; {they have nothing to say}.

And I have waited because they do not speak, because they stand [there] [and] no longer answer.

I myself will answer my share also; I myself will declare my knowledge also,

Let me speak {that I may find relief}; let me open my lips, and let me answer.

"If you are able, answer me. Present [your argument] {before me}; take your stand.

"Look, [in] this you are not right--I will answer you: Indeed, God is greater than a human being.

Why do you contend against him, that he will not answer all a person's words?

If {you have anything to say}, {answer me}; speak, for I desire {to justify you}.

I myself {will give answer to you} and [to] your friends with you.

There they cry out, but he does not answer {because of the pride of evildoers}.

"Shall a faultfinder contend with Shaddai? Anyone who argues with God must answer it."

"Look, I am insignificant. What shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.

Once I have spoken, and I will not answer; even twice, but I will not proceed."
