1
Then shall the kingdom of the heavens be made like to ten virgins that having taken their torches, went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2
And five of them were prudent and five foolish.
3
They that were foolish took their torches and did not take oil with them;
4
but the prudent took oil in their vessels with their torches.
5
Now the bridegroom tarrying, they all grew heavy and slept.
6
But in [the] middle of [the] night there was a cry, Behold, the bridegroom; go forth to meet him.
7
Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their torches.
8
And the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, for our torches are going out.
9
But the prudent answered saying, [We cannot,] lest it might not suffice for us and for you. Go rather to those that sell, and buy for yourselves.
