translationNotes

• 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: :en:ta:vol1: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: :en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_rquestion)
