In Matthew 7:21-23, Jesus warns that merely crying 'Lord, Lord' is not enough — the same plea is met with 'I never knew you'.

Hebrews 12:17 shows Esau rejected despite tears — mirroring the virgins' late plea that gains no entry.

Hosea 8:2 records Israel crying 'My God, we know you' but God rejects them — same pattern as the virgins' 'Lord, Lord' met with 'I know you not'.

Zechariah 7:13 declares that when the people cried, God would not hear — exactly paralleling the shut door for the late virgins.

Luke 6:46 asks why call 'Lord, Lord' yet not obey — the virgins call but lack the oil of readiness.

In Luke 13:25, the same scene of latecomers knocking and saying 'Lord, Lord' appears — a parallel account of the shut door and rejected plea.

Isaiah 55:6 urges seeking God while He may be found — the virgins' call comes too late, illustrating the urgency.
