St Matthew 25:4-10 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

4. But the wise took oil in their vessels with the lamps.

5. And the bridegroom tarrying, they all slumbered and slept.

6. And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye forth to meet him.

7. Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.

8. And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out.

9. The wise answered, saying: Lest perhaps there be not enough for us and for you, go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

10. Now whilst they went to buy, the bridegroom came: and they that were ready, went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.
