What does Jeremiah 16:5 mean?

The Lord says, Don't go into any house where people are mourning. Don't join them in grieving or show sympathy, because I've taken away my peace, my love, and my kindness from this people. Jeremiah 16:5 - Modern Text Bible

(God tells Jeremiah not to participate in mourning rituals because He has withdrawn His favor and comfort from the people. This is a sign of total judgment.)
