'Answer' in the Bible

“Then they will call on me, but I will not answer;They will seek me diligently but they will not find me,

A gentle answer turns away wrath,But a harsh word stirs up anger.

A man has joy in an apt answer,And how delightful is a timely word!

The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer,But the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.

The plans of the heart belong to man,But the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.

He who gives an answer before he hears,It is folly and shame to him.

To make you know the certainty of the words of truthThat you may correctly answer him who sent you?

He kisses the lipsWho gives a right answer.

Do not answer a fool according to his folly,Or you will also be like him.

Answer a fool as his folly deserves,That he not be wise in his own eyes.

The sluggard is wiser in his own eyesThan seven men who can give a discreet answer.
