The Litany
These are the chapters at the Greater Litany, that is, on five days. (The Latin heading continues in Old English: "þæt is, on fifa dagas".)
(1.) Thus saith the Lord: Run ye to and fro through the ways of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it. [Jeremiah 5:1]
(2.) Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. [Jeremiah 6:16]
(3.) O God of hosts, the God of Israel: Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever. [Jeremiah 7:3, 7]
