1 “Then the reign of the heavens shall be compared to ten maidens who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2 “And five of them were wise, and five foolish.
3 “Those who were foolish, having taken their lamps, took no oil with them,
4 but the wise took oil in their containers with their lamps.
5 “Now while the bridegroom took time, they all slumbered and slept.
6 “And at midnight a cry was heard, ‘See, the bridegroom is coming, go out to meet him!’
