Proverbs 4:8

Context

4:8 Esteem her highly 1  and she will exalt you;

she will honor you if you embrace her.

Proverbs 6:9

Context

6:9 How long, you sluggard, will you lie there?

When will you rise from your sleep? 2 

1 tn The verb is the Pilpel imperative from סָלַל (salal, “to lift up; to cast up”). So the imperative means “exalt her; esteem her highly; prize her.”

2 sn The use of the two rhetorical questions is designed to rebuke the lazy person in a forceful manner. The sluggard is spending too much time sleeping.
