What the Heck Does “Jeremiad” Mean?

Reason has an interesting interview with Neal Stephenson. I need to get around to reading The Baroque Cycle one of these years (decades?). I think I even went so far as to buy Quicksilver, but I’ve been putting it off because it seems too formidable.
The book I’m reading now (which I can’t even remember) is not taking root in my brain. I’m not sure if that’s the book, or the fact that I’m trying to start reading it at 2 in the morning when I really should have been asleep 2 hours previously. Maybe I should switch over to Neal instead.
Oh, by the way, Jeremiad: A literary work or speech expressing a bitter lament or a righteous prophecy of doom. I had no idea.
