46:7They put it on their shoulder and carry it;

it does not15 move from its place.

Even when someone cries out to it, it does not reply;

it does not deliver him from his distress.

or save him from his trouble.

it saves no one from his trouble.

even when he cries out to it, it does not answer.

It does not save him from his trouble.

They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him,

And set him in his place, and he standeth;

From his place shall he not remove:

Yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer,

Nor save him out of his trouble.
