14 “He who (A)withholds[a] kindness from a (B)friend
forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
15 My (C)brothers are (D)treacherous as a torrent-bed,
as torrential (E)streams that pass away,
16 which are dark with ice,
and where the snow hides itself.
17 When they melt, they disappear;
when it is hot, they vanish from their place.
18 The caravans turn aside from their course;
they go up into (F)the waste and perish.
19 The caravans of (G)Tema look,
the travelers of (H)Sheba hope.
20 They are (I)ashamed because they were confident;
they come there and are (J)disappointed.

the traveling merchants of Sheba(G) look in hope.

they arrive there, only to be disappointed.(H)

without asking for my direction,
to take refuge in the protection of Pharaoh
and to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt!

and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt to your humiliation.
