We give two-sided estimates for positive solutions of the superlinear elliptic problem $-\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E5}u=a(x)|u|^{p-1}u$ with zero Dirichlet boundary condition in a bounded Lipschitz domain. Our result improves the well-known a priori$L^{\infty }$-estimate and provides information about the boundary decay rate of solutions.
