because they turned aside from following him, and wouldn't pay attention to any of his ways,
English Revised Version (ERV)
Because they turned aside from following him, and would not have regard to any of his ways:
Clarke's Job 34:27 Bible Commentary
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.
Barnes's Job 34:27 Bible Commentary
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.
