Contextual Overview
16 "If you have understanding, hear this. Listen to what I say. 17 Should one who hates what is right be the one to rule? Will you say that He Who is right and good and strong is guilty? 18 Who says to a king, ‘You are of no worth,' and to rulers, ‘You are sinful'? 19 Who shows no favor to princes, or thinks of the rich as more important than the poor? They are all the work of His hands. 20 In a short time they die. At midnight the people are shaken and pass away. And the powerful are taken away by no human hand. 21 "For God's eyes are upon the ways of a man, and He sees all his steps. 22 There is no darkness or shadow where sinners can hide themselves. 23 For God does not need to set a time for man to go before Him and be judged. 24 He breaks powerful men in pieces without asking any reason, and puts others in their place. 25 For He knows their works. He puts them down 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.
