1. “Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
3. Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,
4. but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5. Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
6. But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!’
7. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
