OET (OET-LV) [the]_almighty not find_him exalted of_power and_justice and_abundant of_righteousness not he_violates.
OET (OET-RV) We don’t know how to find the provider.
⇔ He has incredible power.
⇔ and he doesn’t violate justice or his integrity.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
שַׁדַּ֣י לֹֽא־מְ֭צָאנֻהוּ
almighty not find,him
Job said in 23:3 that he wished he knew where to find God so that he could go to where God was. Here Elihu is implicitly responding to Job in his own words. You could indicate that explicitly in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “So, Job, none of us are able to find God and go where he is”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
שַׁדַּ֣י לֹֽא־מְ֭צָאנֻהוּ
almighty not find,him
Elihu is using the pronoun we to refer to himself and to Job, to whom he is speaking, so use the inclusive form of that word if your language marks that distinction.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes
וּמִשְׁפָּ֥ט וְרֹב־צְ֝דָקָ֗ה לֹ֣א יְעַנֶּֽה
and,justice and,abundant righteousness not violate
Elihu is expressing a positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that is the opposite of his intended meaning. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and he ensures that there is justice and an abundance of righteousness”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
וּמִשְׁפָּ֥ט וְרֹב־צְ֝דָקָ֗ה לֹ֣א יְעַנֶּֽה
and,justice and,abundant righteousness not violate
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of justice and righteousness, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: “and he is careful to treat people justly and to ensure that people everywhere do what is right”
37:23 cannot imagine the power of the Almighty: Cp. 11:7; 26:14; Rom 11:33; 1 Tim 6:16.
• he is just and righteous: Cp. Job 9:4, 19; 12:13; Pss 62:11; 66:3; 93:1; 99:4.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
