Be'lial. The meaning of this word as found in the Scriptures is worthlessness, and hence reckless, lawlessness. The expression, son or man of Belial, must be understood as meaning simply a worthless, lawless fellow. The term as used in 2 Corinthians 6:15, is generally understood as an appellative of Satan, as the personification of all that was bad.
