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.

And they withstood {H5975} Uzziah {H5818} the king {H4428}, and said {H559} unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah {H5818}, to burn incense {H6999} unto the LORD {H3068}, but to the priests {H3548} the sons {H1121} of Aaron {H175}, that are consecrated {H6942} to burn incense {H6999}: go out {H3318} of the sanctuary {H4720}; for thou hast trespassed {H4603}; neither shall it be for thine honour {H3519} from the LORD {H3068} God {H430}.

They stood up to 'Uziyahu the king; they told him, "It isn't your job, 'Uziyahu, to burn incense to ADONAI! The job of burning incense belongs to the cohanim, the descendants of Aharon, who have been consecrated. Get out of the sanctuary! You have trespassed, and ADONAI, God, will not honor you for this."

They took their stand against King Uzziah and said, “Uzziah, you have no right to offer incense to the LORD. Only the priests, the descendants of Aaron, are consecrated to burn incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have acted unfaithfully; you will not receive honor from the LORD God.”

and they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It pertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto Jehovah, 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 honor from Jehovah God.
