Read the wrong haftara. Now what?
Suppose someone started reading a _haftara_ for a different week, or according to a different custom for the same week, or a piece of _navi_ that's not a _haftara_ at all. What should the community do? I suspect the answer may depend on when the mistake was caught (after the closing benedictions were made after the _haftara_, before them but after a few verses were read of the mistaken _haftara_, immediately after the mistaken _haftara_ was started) as well as on which _haftara_ is being mistakenly skipped (specifically, whether it's one of the three of retribution, seven of consolation, and two of return that we read each summer, which I understand may be more mandatory than other _haftaros_). I'd appreciate answers that address as many of these cases as possible.
