Meaning
Lofty likewise means '"haughty," "lifted up" (compare Psa 131:1, Isa 2:11, Pro 30:13). In Isa 26:5 it 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.
