2 Chronicles 26:16-18

Amplified Bible

Pride Is Uzziah’s Undoing

¹⁶ But when Uzziah became strong, he became so proud [of himself and his accomplishments] that he acted corruptly, and he was unfaithful and sinned against the Lord his God, for he went ^[a]into the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense.^{(A) 17} Then Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of the Lord, men of courage. ¹⁸ They opposed King Uzziah and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron who have been consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have been unfaithful and will have no honor from the Lord God.”
