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 untrue 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 have been consecrated to burn incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have been untrue and will have no honor from the Lord God.”

New International Version
16 But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride(A) led to his downfall.(B) He was unfaithful(C) to the Lord his God, and entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense(D) on the altar of incense. 17 Azariah(E) the priest with eighty other courageous priests of the Lord followed him in. 18 They confronted King Uzziah and said, “It is not right for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord. That is for the priests,(F) the descendants(G) of Aaron,(H) who have been consecrated to burn incense.(I) Leave the sanctuary, for you have been unfaithful; and you will not be honored by the Lord God.”
