The evil, the loss of believing in God (and God's wrath) and people's sin are all siphoning (like a vortex of a hurricane)
That reminds me of the following verses from Proverbs 1:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:
Short summary: Evil will reap what they've sown.
Thank you @goldendawne for the excellent comment!
