The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins (Matthew 25: 1-13): The watchers become weary: "Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept." - from: Christ's Object Lessons, by Ellen G. White, 1900.

مثل العذارى العشر/العشر عذارى (متى 25: 1-13): "حينئذ يشبه ملكوت السماوات عشر عذارى، أخذن مصابيحهن وخرجن للقاء العريس. وكان خمس منهن حكيمات، وخمس جاهلات. أما الجاهلات فأخذن مصابيحهن ولم يأخذن معهن زيتا، وأما الحكيمات فأخذن زيتا في آنيتهن مع مصابيحهن. وفيما أبطأ العريس نعسن جميعهن ونمن" - من كتاب دروس المسيح الموضوعية، إلين ج. وايت، 1900 م.
