Generally, the term "jeremiad" is applied to moralistic texts that denounce a society for its wickedness, and prophesy its downfall.

In the long, pessimistic jeremiad to which he has given utterance he must have failed to see the implication of his speech.
That reform was accompanied by jeremiads as to what would happen.
These jeremiads, even upon the professorial level, are very dangerous.

I do not want to indulge in any way in an unnecessary jeremiad but merely to give a warning.
