lof'-ti-li, lof'-ti-nes: The first form is only inPs 73:8, where it means "haughtily," as if from on high. The second is found only inJer 48:29, where the loftiness of Moab also means his haughtiness, his groundless self-conceit.
Lofty likewise means '"haughty," "lifted up" (comparePs 131:1;Isa 2:11;Pr 30:13). InIsa 26:5it refers to a self-secure and boastful city. In 57:15 it is used in a good sense of God who really is high and supreme. Isaiah uses the word more than all the other sacred writers put together.
