Job 22:18 Context
16Which were cut downe out of time, whose foundation was ouerflowen with a flood. 17Which said vnto God, Depart from vs, and what can the Almightie doe for them? 18Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsell of the wicked is farre from me. 19The righteous see it, and are glad, and the innocent laugh them to scorne. 20Whereas our substance is not cut downe, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.

Wesley's Notes for Job 22:18
22:18 Yet - Yet it is true, that for a time God did prosper them, but at last, cut them off in a tremendous manner, But - He repeals Job's words, chap.#21:16|, not without reflection: thou didst say so, but against thy own principle, that God carries himself indifferently towards good and bad; but I who have observed God's terrible judgments upon wicked men, have much more reason to abhor their counsels.
