He will surely wind you round and round, and toss you like a ball into a vast country

you will be the shame of your master's house
Here "house" represents the people who work in the king's palace. AT: "you will cause shame for all those in your master's palace" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
I will thrust you from your office and from your station. You will be pulled down
Yahweh causing Shebna to no longer work in the king's palace is spoken of as if Yahweh will throw him to the ground. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
