Contextual Overview
16 If now thou hast vnderstanding, heare this: hearken to the voyce of my words. 17 Shall euen he that hateth right, gouerne? and wilt thou condemne him that is most iust? 18 Is it fit to say to a King, Thou art wicked? and to Princes, Ye are vngodly? 19 How much lesse to him that accepteth not the persons of Princes, nor regardeth the rich more then the poore? for they all are the woorke of his hands. 20 In a moment shall they die, and the people shalbe troubled at midnight, and passe away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand. 21 For his eyes are vpon the wayes of man, and he seeth all his goings. 22 There is no darkenes, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquitie may hide themselues. 23 For hee will not lay vpon man more then right; that he should enter into iudgement with God. 24 He shall breake in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead. 25 Therefore hee knoweth their workes, and he ouerturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.

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.
