jobation
jobation (joh-BAY-shuhn) - n., an extensive rebuke, a long reproof.
Often with the connotation of tedious. Chiefly British usage, and yes there's a verb form: to jobe, which is fully archaic. Comes from the long lectures that Job received from his friends in the eponymous Biblical book. (At least, I don't *think* God's response counts as one ... )
