1. “Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.
2. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
3. For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them,
4. but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps.
5. As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept.
6. But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’
7. Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps.
