- Wikipedia article on Belial
- In Hebrew scripture, translates as "worthless people."
- "Now the sons of Eli were scoundrels; they had no regard for the Lord." (1 Samuel 2:12)
- "While they were enjoying themselves, the men of the city, a perverse lot, surrounded the house and started pounding on the door. They said to the old man, the master of the house, 'Bring out the man who came into your house, so that we may have intercourse with him.'" (Judges 19:22)
- "A scoundrel and a villain
goes around with crooked speech," (Proverbs 6:12)
- Becomes more personified in the New Testament:
- "What agreement does Christ have with Beliar? Or what does a believer share with an unbeliever?" (2 Corinthians 6:15)
- Also in the Dead Sea Scrolls, from War of the Sons of Light Against the Sons of Darkness:
- "You made Belial for the pit, angel of enmity; in darkness is his domain, his counsel is to bring about wickedness and guilt. All the spirits of his lot are angels of destruction, they walk in the laws of darkness; towards it goes their only desire."
