'Answers' in the Bible

Then David said to Jonathan, "Who shall tell me if perchance your father answers you roughly?"

Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me, to bring me up?" Saul answered, "I am very distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me, and answers me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I shall do."

You call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of Yahweh. The God who answers by fire, let him be God." All the people answered, "It is well said."

I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame. The spirit of my understanding answers me.

So how can you comfort me with nonsense, because in your answers there remains only falsehood?"

I cry to Yahweh with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah.

The heart of the righteous weighs answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes out evil.

To teach you truth, reliable words, to give sound answers to the ones who sent you?

Yahweh will cut off, to the man who does this, him who wakes and him who answers, out of the tents of Jacob, and him who offers an offering to Yahweh of Armies.
