Yahweh uses a question for emphasis. Here "mother" refers to the city of Zion. This means that Yahweh did not send the people of Zion away like a man who decides to divorce his wife. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
And to which of my creditors did I sell you?

AT: "I sent you away because you continually sinned and rebelled against me." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
