2 Chronicles 26:16-18

New American Standard Bible 1995

Pride Is Uzziah’s Undoing

¹⁶ But ^(A)when he became strong, his heart was so ^[a]proud that he acted corruptly, and he was unfaithful to the Lord his God, for ^(B)he entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense. ¹⁷ Then ^(C)Azariah the priest entered after him and with him eighty priests of the Lord, valiant men. ^18 (D)They opposed Uzziah the king and said to him, “^(E)It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord, ^(F)but for the priests, the sons of Aaron who are consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have been unfaithful and will have no honor from the Lord God.”
