Matthew 25:6
“And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.”
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
