Contextual Overview
16If you have understanding, hear this;listen to what I have to say. 17Could one who hates justice govern the world?Will you condemn the mighty Righteous One, 18who says to a king, “Worthless man!”and to nobles, “Wicked men!”? 19God is not partial to princesand does not favor the rich over the poor,for they are all the work of his hands. 20They die suddenly in the middle of the night;people shudder, then pass away.Even the mighty are removed without effort. 21For his eyes watch over a man’s ways,and he observes all his steps. 22There is no darkness, no deep darkness,where evildoers can hide. 23God does not need to examine a person further,that one should approach him in court. 24He shatters the mighty without an investigationand sets others in their place. 25Therefore, he recognizes their deedsand overthrows them by 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.
