"Because they turned aside from following him, And would not have regard in any of his ways: "
— Job 34:27, American Standard Version
“Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:”
“because they turned aside from following him, and wouldn't pay attention to any of his ways,”
“because they have turned away from following him, and have not understood any of his ways,”
“Who as it were on purpose have revolted from him, and would not understand all his ways:”
“Because they did not go after him, and took no note of his ways,”
“Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:”
He breaketh in pieces mighty men in ways past finding out, And setteth others in their stead.
Therefore he taketh knowledge of their works; And he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
He striketh them as wicked men In the open sight of others;
Because they turned aside from following him, And would not have regard in any of his ways:
So that they caused the cry of the poor to come unto him, And he heard the cry of the afflicted.
When he giveth quietness, who then can condemn? And when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? Alike whether it be done unto a nation, or unto a man:
That the godless man reign not, That there be none to ensnare the people.
