St Matthew 25:2-9 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

2. And five of them were foolish, and five wise.

3. But the five foolish, having taken their lamps, did not take oil with them:

4. But the wise took oil in their vessels with the lamps.

5. And the bridegroom tarrying, they all slumbered and slept.

6. And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye forth to meet him.

7. Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.

8. And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out.

9. The wise answered, saying: Lest perhaps there be not enough for us and for you, go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
