  Ordinary Time Let me sing for my beloved     my love song concerning his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard     on a very fertile hill. 2 He dug it and cleared it of stones,     and planted it with choice vines; he built a watchtower in the midst of it,     and hewed out a wine vat in it; and he looked for it to yield grapes,     but it yielded wild grapes. 3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem     and men of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard. 4 What more was there to do for my vineyard,     that I have not done in it?

New moon and Sabbath and calling of convocation— / I cannot endure solemn assemblies with iniquity. 14 Your new moons and your appointed festivals / my soul hates; / they have become a burden to me; / I am weary of bearing them. 15 When you stretch out your hands, / I will hide my eyes from you; even though yo
