And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The estate of a certain rich man bore plentifully: and he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do? for I have not room where I may house my crops. And he said, I will do this; I will take down my barns, and build them larger, and collect there all my crops, and my good things! read more.
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast a multitude of good things in store for many years, be at ease, eat, drink, and be merry! But God said to him, Thou fool! this night shall they demand thy life from thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?

THEN shall the kingdom of heaven be like to ten virgins, who taking their lamps, went forth to meet the bridegroom. But five of them were provident, and five foolish. Those who were taking their lamps, took no oil with them: read more.
but the provident took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But as the bridegroom stayed long, they all slumbered and slept. Then at midnight the cry came, Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go forth to meet him. Then all these virgins arose, and set about trimming their lamps. And the foolish said to the provident, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the provident replied, saying, No; lest there be not a sufficiency for us and you: but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves. But while they were gone away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they who were prepared went in with him to the marriage-feast: and the door was shut. Then came afterwards the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us. But he answering said, Verily, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour in which the Son of man cometh.
