"because they turned aside from following him, and wouldn't pay attention to any of his ways,"
— Job 34:27, World English Bible
“Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:”
“Because they turned aside from following him, And would not have regard in 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 breaks in pieces mighty men in ways past finding out, and sets others in their place.
Therefore he takes knowledge of their works. He overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
He strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
because they turned aside from following him, and wouldn't pay attention to any of his ways,
so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him. He heard the cry of the afflicted.
When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? Alike whether to a nation, or to a man,
that the godless man may not reign, that there be no one to ensnare the people.
