Loftily, Loftiness, Lofty
Loftily, Loftiness, Lofty
lofti-li, lofti-nes: The first form is only in Psa 73:8, where it means haughtily, as if from on high. The second is found only in Jer 48:29, where the loftiness of Moab also means his haughtiness, his groundless self-conceit.
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 Isa 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.
