Contextual Overview
16 "If you have understanding, listen to this, hear what I have to say. 17 Do you really think that one who hates justice can govern? And will you declare guilty the supremely righteous One, 18 who says to a king, ‘Worthless man' and to nobles, ‘Wicked men,' 19 who shows no partiality to princes, and does not take note of the rich more than the poor, because all of them are the work of his hands? 20 In a moment they die, in the middle of the night, people are shaken and they pass away. The mighty are removed effortlessly. 21 For his eyes are on the ways of an individual, he observes all a person's steps. 22 There is no darkness, and no deep darkness, where evildoers can hide themselves. 23 For he does not still consider a person, that he should come before God in judgment. 24 He shatters the great without inquiry, and sets up others in their place. 25 Therefore, he knows their deeds, he overthrows 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.
