Contextual Overview
16 "If you can understand, hear this; listen to what I have to say. 17 Can anyone govern who hates what is right? How can you blame God who is both fair and powerful? 18 God is the one who says to kings, ‘You are worthless,' or to important people, ‘You are evil.' 19 He is not nicer to princes than other people, nor kinder to rich people than poor people, because he made them all with his own hands. 20 They can die in a moment, in the middle of the night. They are struck down, and then they pass away; powerful people die without help. 21 "God watches where people go; he sees every step they take. 22 There is no dark place or deep shadow where those who do evil can hide from him. 23 He does not set a time for people to come before him for judging. 24 Without asking questions, God breaks powerful people into pieces and puts others in their place. 25 Because God knows what people do, he defeats them in the night, and they are crushed.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Because they turned back from him,.... Became apostates from the ways and worship of God, as the posterity of Cain before the flood, and the posterity of Ham after it; who had been educated and trained up therein, and turned from the law of God, as the Septuagint version, from the light and law of nature:
and would not consider any of his ways; either of providence, whether in a way of mercy which might lead to repentance, or in a way of judgment which might be a caution and instruction to them; or of his precepts, the way of his commandments, not any of these would they consider; so as to express a value for them, show any regard to them, and walk in them; and which was owing to the stubbornness of their wills; they would not advert to them.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Because they turned back from him - Margin, “from after him.” That is, they receded, or went away from God.
And would not consider any of his ways - They would not regard or attend to any of his commands. The word way, in the Scriptures, is often used to denote “religion.” A “way” denotes the course of life which one leads; the path in which he walks. The “ways of God” denote his course or plan, his precepts or laws; and to depart from them, or to disregard them, is only another mode of saying that a man has no religion.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Job 34:27. Because they turned back — This is the reason why he has dealt with them in judgment. They had departed from him in their hearts, their moral conduct, and their civil government. He is speaking of corrupt and tyrannical rulers. And they did not, would not, understand any of his ways.
