2 Five of them were foolish. Five were wise.
3 The foolish ones took their lamps but didn't take any olive oil with them.
4 The wise ones took oil in jars along with their lamps.
5 The groom did not come for a long time. So the bridesmaids all grew tired and fell asleep.
6 "At midnight someone cried out, 'Here's the groom! Come out to meet him!'
