 4Mas las prudentes tomaron aceite en sus vasos, juntamente con sus lámparas.
 5Y tardándose el esposo, cabecearon todas, y se durmieron.
 6Y á la media noche fué oído un clamor: He aquí, el esposo viene; salid á recibirle.
 7Entonces todas aquellas vírgenes se levantaron, y aderezaron sus lámparas.
 8Y las fatuas dijeron á las prudentes: Dadnos de vuestro aceite; porque nuestras lámparas se apagan.
