The Ethiopic Lamentations of Jeremiah (Geʽez: Säqoqawä Eremyas)[1] is a pseudepigraphic text, belonging to the Old Testament canons of the Beta Israel[2] and Ethiopian Orthodox Church. It is not considered canonical by any other Judeo-Christian-Islamic groups.
- ^ Säqoqawä is the Ethiopic term for lament; thus, Säqoqawä Näfs, for instance, means lamentation of the soul.

The Torah (orit) is written in Geez... The name applies not only to the Pentateuch but to the entire Old Testament, and the text is identical with that of the Christian Ethiopians. [V]arious apocrypha and pseudepigrapha such as... the Paralipomena of Baruch... are included.
