Yahweh continues speaking to Zion as if it were a person.
Who has borne these children for me?
Zion uses a question to emphasize that she is surprised that so many children now belong to her. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
I was bereaved and barren
"I was mourning over my dead children and unable to have more"
exiled and divorced
"I was sent away, without a husband"
Who has raised these children? Look, I was left all alone; where did these come from?
Again, Zion uses questions to emphasize her surprise. AT: "Look, I was left all alone; now all of these children that I did not raise have come to me." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
