[1] Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took lamps, and went forth the bridegroom. [2] And five of them wise, and five were foolish. [3] that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: [4] But the wise took oil in vessels with lamps. [5] While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. [6] And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom go ye out to meet him. [7] Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed lamps. [8] And the foolish said unto the wise, Give of oil; for lamps are gone out.
