When one submerses himself into evil, he is consumed by evil. Hunger, thirst, desire are all driven by evil.
"An evil man seeks only rebellion; therefore a stern and pitiless messenger will be sent against him." Proverbs 17:11, Amplified
Being evil is to be in direct contradiction with the will of God. One who has evil in his heart does not wish to be in subjection to God. But all must give account as to their actions. The Hebrew word for messenger is often also translated as angel in other places in the Old Testament. In his book, "The Remarkable Wisdom of Solomon", Henry Morris writes, "It is thus quite possible that the cruel messenger may be an avenging angel sent by God to stop his subversion." Why must the rebellious man be stopped? Lee Iacocca once said, "By gnawing through a dyke, even a rat can drown a nation." Rebellion is a disease of the soul that easily infects others around it.
