Living_Oracles(i)
1 Then may the kingdom of heaven be compared to ten virgins, who went out with their lamps to meet the bridegroom.
2 Of these, five were prudent and five foolish.
3 The foolish took their lamps, but carried no oil with them.
4 But the prudent, besides their lamps, carried oil in their vessels.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all became drowsy, and fell asleep.
6 And at midnight a cry was raised, The bridegroom is coming, go out and meet him.
7 Then all the virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out.
9 But the prudent answered, saying, Lest there be not enough for us and you, go rather to them who sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 While they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready, went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.
