Contextual Overview
29 Why do you contend with Me? All of you, you have rebelled against Me, says Jehovah. 30 In vain I have stricken your sons; they received no correction. Your own sword has devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion. 31 O generation, see the Word of Jehovah. Have I been a wilderness to Israel, or a land of darkness? Why do My people say, We roam; we will come no more to You. 32 Can a virgin forget her finery, a bride her attire? Yet My people have forgotten Me days without number. 33 What? Do you trim your ways to seek love? For this reason you have even taught the evil women your ways. 34 Also on your skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents; I did not find them by breaking in, but on all these. 35 Yet you say, Because I am innocent, surely His anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will judge with you, because you say, I have not sinned. 36 Why do you go about so much to change your way? You also shall be ashamed of Egypt, as you were ashamed of Assyria. 37 Yes, you shall go out from this place , and your hands on your head. For Jehovah has rejected those in whom you trust, and you will not prosper by them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Wherefore will ye plead with me?.... Strive and contend, chide, murmur, and complain, when evil came upon them, as if the Lord dealt hardly with them, and as if they had never sinned against him; when their case would not bear to be brought into judgment and examined openly; what would they get by that but shame and disgrace?
ye all have transgressed against me, saith the Lord; high and low, rich and poor, great and small; men of all ranks, degrees, and character; kings, priests and prophets; and therefore ought not to contend with God, and charge him with injustice or unkindness, but themselves with folly and wickedness.
