So he sent other servants with this message for the guests: 'My feast is ready now; my steers and prize calves have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast!'
5
But the invited guests paid no attention and went about their business: one went to his farm, another to his store,
6
while others grabbed the servants, beat them, and killed them.
7
The king was very angry; so he sent his soldiers, who killed those murderers and burned down their city.

Then he called his servants and said to them, 'My wedding feast is ready, but the people I invited did not deserve it.
9
Now go to the main streets and invite to the feast as many people as you find.'

The ten young women woke up and trimmed their lamps.

Then the foolish ones said to the wise ones, 'Let us have some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.'
