'Responding' in the Bible

These three men stopped responding to Job, because he was claiming to be righteous, in his own opinion.

let him not direct a rebuke toward me. I won't be responding to him with your arguments.

Shall I continue to wait, since they're no longer talking? After all, they're only standing there; they're no longer responding.

So take seven bulls and seven rams and bring them to my servant Job. And bring a whole burnt offering for yourselves and my servant Job will pray for you. I'll encourage him by not responding as your disgraceful folly deserves, since you didn't speak about me correctly as did my servant Job."
