Lofty likewise means '"haughty," "lifted up" (compare Psalm 131:1; Isaiah 2:11; Proverbs 30:13 ). In Isaiah 26:5 it refers to a self-secure and boastful city. In Isaiah 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.
