They lift it to their shoulders and carry it; they set it up in its place, and there it stands. From that spot it cannot move. Though people cry out to it, it does not answer; it cannot save them from their troubles.
NIV
They bear it upon their shoulders [in religious processions or into battle]; they carry it and set it down in its place, and there it stands. It cannot move from its place. Even if one cries to it for help, yet [the idol] cannot answer or save him out of his distress.
AMP
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.
