Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if Jehovah should make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

Then the captain whose arm was supporting the king said to the man of God, Even if the Lord made windows in heaven, would such a thing be possible? And he said, Your eyes will see it, but you will not have a taste of the food.

Και απεκριθη προς τον ανθρωπον του Θεου ο αρχων, επι του οποιου την χειρα εστηριζετο ο βασιλευς, και ειπε, Και εαν ο Κυριος ηθελε καμει παραθυρα εις τον ουρανον, ηδυνατο το πραγμα τουτο να γεινη; Ο δε ειπεν, Ιδου, θελεις ιδει με τους οφθαλμους σου, δεν θελεις ομως φαγει εξ αυτου.

Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the Lord would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
