Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 34:27

27. Because they turned back from him : and would not consider any of his ways .

From the God whom they or their Progenitors had owned, and his Laws which God hath written in the minds of all men, Rom. 2. 14, 1[illegible: 1+ letters]. and it may be from the practice of the true Religion which sometimes they professed.

Or, understand. They did not desire no[illegible: 1+ letters] endeavour to know them, at least practically or to any good purpose.

Either, 1. God's providential ways. They did not lay to heart any of God's judgments inflicted upon such Oppressours as themselves, which should have given them warning, but boldly persisted in the same wicked courses. Or 2. His precepts, oft called his ways, because he hath appointed them for us to walk in. For these ways they were in a special manner obliged to consider and practise: and the next Verse giveth us an instance of their backsliding from these ways.
