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.
8
The foolish said to the wise, `Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.`
9
But the wise answered, saying, `What if there will not be enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.`
10
While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.
