Des gens pervers sont sortis du milieu de toi, et ont poussé les habitants de leur ville, en disant: Allons, et servons d'autres dieux que vous n'avez point connus;
Des hommes, fils de Bélial, sont sortis du milieu de toi, et ont incité les habitants de leur ville, disant: Allons, et servons d'autres dieux, des dieux que vous n'avez pas connus;
Quelques méchants garnements sont sortis du milieu de toi, qui ont incité les habitants de leur ville, en disant : Allons et servons d'autres dieux, que vous n'avez point connus.

Belial: Belial is derived by some from beli, not, and âl, over, i.e., one so proud and envious as not to bear a superior; by others, from beli, not, and ol, a yoke, i.e., a lawless, ungovernable person, בםהסוע נבסבםןלןי, "lawless men," as the LXX render. It is, however, more probably derived from beli, not, and yaâl, profit, i.e., a worthless person, good for nothing to himself or others, and capable of nothing but mischief.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Certain men, the children of Belial,.... Which signify either persons without a yoke, who have thrown off the yoke of God's law, and will not submit to it, or unprofitable ones, as wicked men be, both to God, themselves, and others:
are gone out from among you; not locally, but with respect to their religious sentiments and practices, having separated themselves from the people of God, and from the service of the sanctuary, the true worship of God, and a profession of it, and given into the worship of idols:
and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city; withdrawn them by the force of persuasion from the worship of the true God, and drawn them into idolatry:
saying, let us go and serve other gods; unite as one man in the worship of the gods of the Gentiles:
which ye have not known; this was not said by the children of Belial, but is added by the Lord by way of explanation, showing what gods they were that these men advised them to serve, and confirms the observation made on Deuteronomy 13:6.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
In Deuteronomy 15:9 and in Nahum 1:11 the word “Belial” is rendered in our translation by the adjective “wicked.” The word means “worthlessness.”
(from Barnes’ Notes)
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Deuteronomy 13:13. Children of Belial — בליעל, from בל bal, not, and יעל yaal, profit; - Sept. ανδρες παρανομοι, lawless men; - persons good for nothing to themselves or others, and capable of nothing but mischief.
