20. Azariah the leading priest and all the priests looked at Uzziah. They could see the leprosy on his forehead. The priests quickly forced him out from the Temple. Uzziah himself hurried out because the Lord had punished him.
21. So Uzziah the king was a leper. He could not enter the Lord’S Temple. His son Jotham controlled the king’s palace and became governor for the people.
22. Everything else Uzziah did, from beginning to end, is written by the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz.
