And decide to trod to Canaan land

And when their oils gone out

They turn to the wise virgin and say

May I have some of your oil

To throw in my lamp to meet the bridegroom

Wise one say to them say

Go ye rather to them that sell and buy for yourself

And when they turn back they were all gone out late

And could never ever, ever see the bridegroom at all
