General Information:
Yahweh continues speaking to the people of Judah.
Therefore Pharaoh's protection will be your shame, and the refuge in Egypt's shade, your humiliation
This can be reworded so that the abstract nouns "protection," "shame," and "humiliation" are expressed as adjectives or verbs. Alternate translation: "Therefore you will be ashamed because you relied on Pharaoh to protect you; you will be humiliated because you relied on the Egyptians to keep you safe" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns)
the refuge in Egypt's shade
Egypt's protection from enemy armies is spoken of as if it were a shadow that protects someone from the burning heat of the sun. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
