Matthew 25:1-6

1“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.

2Five of them were foolish [thoughtless, silly, and careless], and five were wise [far-sighted, practical, and sensible].

3For when the foolish took their lamps, they did not take any [extra] oil with them,

4but the wise took flasks of oil along with their lamps.

5Now while the bridegroom was delayed, they all began to nod off, and they fell asleep.

6But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Look! The bridegroom [is coming]! Go out to meet him.’
