This alerts the reader to pay attention to what follows. “Pay attention!”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) the daughter of my people

Jeremiah is speaking about the people of Judah in a way that shows his affection for them, as if for a daughter. See how you translated this in Jeremiah 4:11. Alternate translation: “my dear people”

(Occurrence 0) from a land far away

This could mean: (1) From exile. Alternate translation: “from exile in a distant land” or (2) From throughout the land of Judah. Alternate translation: “throughout our land”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

(Occurrence 0) Is Yahweh not in Zion? Is her king no longer there?

These two questions are similar in meaning. They imply that the people of Judah are wondering why Yahweh is not saving them. Alternate translation: “Why does Yahweh not save us if he is the king in Zion?” (See also: figs-explicit and figs-rquestion)

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) Why then do they provoke me to anger with their carved figures and their worthless foreign idols?

The word “me” refers to Yahweh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “If they want me to save them, then they must not offend me with their carved figures.”
