  • Newari: “But after Uzziah became powerful, his arrogance destroyed him. By going into the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense, he opposed the LORD his God.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “But when he became powerful, he became-proud. And this is the cause-of- his -downfall. He did not obey the LORD his God, for he entered the temple of the LORD and he personally burned incense on the altar.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “But because Uzziah was very powerful, he became very proud, and that led to his being punished. He disobeyed what Yahweh his God had commanded.
