I think verse 47 supports cookcounty’s assertions to “be found busy”.

Be careful of that “you have no oil”, business. The biggest mistake the foolish virgins made when they found they had no oil was to leave the house in search of oil. Hence when they returned(with oil presumably) they weren’t allowed into the wedding. Hence it wasn’t just about “the oil” since the virgins were able to procur some. It would have been better for the “oiless” virgins to have stayed in the house and begged forgiveness of the bride and groom! The message wasn’t just about spiritual prep(the oil), it was about leaving the scene of the impending wedding!
