“And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.”
And the foolish said to the wise: give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out. The foolish virgins' request — give us some of your oil — is the recognition of their inadequacy at precisely the moment when remediation is most difficult. The our lamps are going out communicates the imminent failure of the resource they should have prepared.
