16 And at his strength, his heart was lifted up to destruction, and he trespassed against YHWH his God, and he went into the temple of YHWH to burn incense on the altar of incense. 17 And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him priests of YHWH—eighty sons of valor— 18 and they stood up against Uzziah the king and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to YHWH, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed; and honor is not unto you from YHWH God.” 19 And Uzziah became furious, and in his hand was a censer to burn incense. And in his being angry with the priests, the leprosy broke out on his forehead before the priests in the house of YHWH, from beside the altar of incense. 2 Chronicles 26:16-19, Berean Literal Bible.
