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.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 26 of 2 Chronicles. When Uzziah becomes powerful, his heart becomes proud and he enters the temple to burn incense, a function reserved for priests. The priests confront him, and the king becomes afflicted with leprosy. The narrative establishes a fundamental boundary between political and priestly authority: prosperity and power do not authorize the king to take cultic functions reserved for others.

und standen wider Usia, den König, und sprachen zu ihm: Es gebührt dir, Usia, nicht, zu räuchern dem HERRN, sondern den Priestern, Aarons Kindern, die zu räuchern geheiligt sind. Gehe heraus aus dem Heiligtum; denn du vergreifst dich, und es wird dir keine Ehre sein vor Gott dem HERRN.
Y pusiéronse contra el rey Uzzías, y dijéronle: No a ti, oh Uzzías, el quemar perfume a Jehová, sino a los sacerdotes hijos de Aarón, que son consagrados para quemarlo: sal del santuario, por que has prevaricado, y no te será para gloria delante del Dios Jehová.
Se enfrentaron al rey Uzías y le dijeron: «A ti, Uzías, no te corresponde quemar incienso a Jehová, sino a los sacerdotes, los hijos de Aarón, que están consagrados para quemarlo. Sal del santuario, porque has sido infiel, y esto no te traerá honra de parte de Jehová Dios».
qui s'opposèrent au roi Ozias et lui dirent: Tu n'as pas le droit, Ozias, d'offrir des parfums à l'Eternel! Ce droit appartient aux sacrificateurs, fils d'Aaron, qui ont été consacrés pour les offrir. Sors du sanctuaire, car tu commets un péché! Et cela ne tournera pas à ton honneur devant l'Eternel Dieu.
ed essi si opposero al re Uzzia, e gli dissero: Non istà a te, o Uzzia, il far profumo al Signore; anzi a’ sacerdoti, figliuoli di Aaronne, che son consacrati per far profumi; esci fuori del Santuario; perciocchè tu hai misfatto, e ciò non ti tornerà in gloria da parte del Signore Iddio.
E resistiram ao rei Uzias, e lhe disseram: A ti, Uzias, não compete queimar incenso perante o SENHOR, mas aos sacerdotes, filhos de Arão, que são consagrados para queimar incenso; sai do santuário, porque transgrediste; e não será isto para honra tua da parte do SENHOR Deus.
他們阻止 烏西雅 王,對他說:「 烏西雅 啊,給耶和華燒香不是你的事,而是 亞倫 子孫的事,他們是分別為聖來燒香的祭司。你出聖殿吧!因為你犯了罪,耶和華上帝必不使你得尊榮。」
