objurgatory

adjective /ɒbˈd͡ʒʌɹ.ɡə.tɒ.ɹi/

  1. Strongly rebuking or scolding.

    it is a place that is quoted out of the Psalme: If he called them Gods […] Against whom the word of God came: and certainly, if you consult with the Psalme, That seemeth to be reprehensory and objurgatory; to those that were Governours; and our Saviours argument is stronger: If he calls them, against whom the word of God came; came condemning of them, and chiding of them, and reprooving of them; if he calls them Gods, then is it any great matter that I am called God?

Where it comes from

From Latin obiūrgātōrius, from obiūrgō (“to rebuke”).
