How do we know Uzziah's kingship is a lesson about pride?

Answered in 1 source

Uzziah's story warns about the dangers of pride leading to spiritual downfall.

Uzziah began his reign well, seeking God and experiencing prosperity due to his reliance on divine guidance. However, as he became strong and prosperous, his heart was lifted up in pride, leading him to transgress against the Lord by unlawfully approaching the temple. This act of presumption demonstrated that he believed he could come into God’s presence on his own merits, a clear violation of God’s established order. His subsequent punishment—leprosy—serves as a critical lesson on the dangers of pride and the importance of humility before God, underscoring the reality that we can only approach Him through Christ.
