King Uzziah ‘s blessings lead to pride and arrogance to overstep his boundary and authority- to take the place and duty of the priests to burn incense – leads to sufferings from physical leprosy until his death.
2nd Chronicle 26:16-18
16 But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride led to his downfall. He was unfaithful to the LORD his God, and entered the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense. 17 Azariah the priest with eighty other courageous priests of the LORD followed him in. 18 They confronted him and said, "It is not right for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD. That is for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who have been consecrated to burn incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have been unfaithful; and you will not be honored by the LORD God."
