Matthew 25:1-4 King James Version (KJV)
25 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Matthew 25:1-4 Jubilee Bible 2000 (JUB)
25 ΒΆ Then shall the kingdom of the heavens be likened unto ten virgins who, taking their lamps, went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were prudent, and five were foolish.
3 Those that were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them;
4 but the prudent took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
1 Virgins were often those that would marry in those days, the time have changed for the worse, women who were not virgins often were either widows or would not be getting married. Lamps are symbolizing their light, the bridegroom represents Jesus, and the brides represent Christians.
2 This is common half of people or more do not have Godly wisdom because they do not follow His truth.
3-4 Oil often times symbolizes the Spirit, which means half of them did not allow the Spirit to guide them but did their own thing, the other five allow the oil or Spirit to light their way.
