[10:1] Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it and laid incense on it and offered unauthorized fire before the LORD, which he had not commanded them. [2] And fire came out from before the LORD and consumed them, and they died before the LORD.
(Leviticus 10:1-2 ESV)
[9] And when they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah put out his hand to take hold of the ark, for the oxen stumbled. [10] And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah, and he struck him down because he put out his hand to the ark, and he died there before God.
(1 Chronicles 13:9-10 ESV)
Epic fail

My first response was this was to laugh! "Epic fail." No kidding! HAHA. But then, I realize the serious nature of being presumptuous before God and it makes me tremble!
Serious indeed Brother. In both examples people thought they were doing the right thing, even the instinctual thing! How polluted we all are, how filthy before a holy and just God! Praise Him for his mercy and love!
