1 "Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth 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.
