Belial

(Hebrew). The worthless or lawléss one, i.e. the devil. Milton, in his pandemonium, makes him a very high and distinguished prince of darkness. (Paradise Lost.)

“What concord hath Christ with Belial?” —2 Cor. vi. 15.

Belial came last- than whom a spirit more lewd
Fell not from heaven, or more gross to love
Vice for itself.
