Commentary for Isaiah 46:7
יִ֠שָּׂאֻהוּ עַל־כָּתֵ֨ף יִסְבְּלֻ֜הוּ וְיַנִּיחֻ֤הוּ תַחְתָּיו֙ וְיַֽעֲמֹ֔ד מִמְּקוֹמ֖וֹ לֹ֣א יָמִ֑ישׁ אַף־יִצְעַ֤ק אֵלָיו֙ וְלֹ֣א יַעֲנֶ֔ה מִצָּרָת֖וֹ לֹ֥א יוֹשִׁיעֶֽנּוּ׃ (ס)
He is borne upon the shoulder, he is carried, and set in his place, and he standeth, from his place he doth not remove; yea, though one cry unto him, he cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
תחתיו In his place.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
לא ימיש It shall not move itself.4A. V. Shall he not remove. ימיש is a transitive verb.4aOr, more properly, reflective. It may also be explained to be a neuter verb meaning it shall move, but the former explanation is better.
