And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. They are sensible of their past folly; they have taken good advice: they are in the act of getting what alone they lacked: a very little more, and they also are ready. But the Bridegroom comes: the ready are admitted; "the door is shut," and they are undone. How graphic and appalling this picture of one almost saved-but lost!
