Because it's not fucking talking about stars - it's about Greek myth.
The Pleiades were the seven daughters of the titan Atlas and the sea-nymph Pleione.
Orion the hunter chased them, but could not bind them.
How do you know that Job is borrowing his revelation from the Greeks? He says it was God who revealed it to him directly. Check the context of the passage. God is saying to Job how he created everything and holds itall together. It has nothing to do with Greek fables.
