*
But when he was strong ,
his heart was lifted up to his destruction :
for he transgressed against the LORD his God ,
and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense .
*
And Azariah the priest went in after him ,
and with him fourscore priests of the LORD ,
that were valiant men :
*
And they withstood Uzziah the king ,
and said unto him ,
It appertaineth not unto thee ,
Uzziah ,
to burn incense unto the LORD ,
but to the priests the sons of Aaron ,
that are consecrated to burn incense :
go out of the sanctuary ;
for thou hast trespassed ;
neither shall it be for thine honour from the LORD God .
*
Then Uzziah was wroth ,
and had a censer in his hand to burn incense :
and while he was wroth with the priests ,
the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD ,
from beside the incense altar .
*
And Azariah the chief priest ,
and all the priests ,
looked upon him ,
and ,
behold ,
he was leprous in his forehead ,
and they thrust him out from thence ;
yea ,
himself hasted also to go out ,
because the LORD had smitten him .
*
And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death ,
and dwelt in a several house ,
being a leper ;
for he was cut off from the house of the LORD :
and Jotham his son was over the king '
s house ,
judging the people of the land .
