Good things can be used for bad purposes. The Devil, obviously knows God and knows the scripture well, i.e. the Devil is not stupid. He is smart and understands the bible well enough, but he uses his understanding of scripture, of the bible for evil purposes, to wreak havoc on people.

Beatty is an intelligent and knowledgeable man who is nimble in the way he thinks and perceives the world. Here, he is using his knowledge as a weapon against Montag, to provoke Montag and cause him distress.
Scripture - all the books and literature and knowledge he knows.
Devil - Beatty is being the villain, the devil, the antagonist here and using his knowledge to fight against Montag's journey of discovery, making Montag confused and putting him in agony so that Montag abandons his new-found passion/ convictions.

When Montag finally started reading books, he now knows that the knowledge and ideas found in books could and wants to take action against the firemen. He is now more aware of the things around him and more aware of the world and more open to feelings. Now that he has more knowledge he is able to act on the knowledge and take action and isn't as ignorant to the world as other people because they haven't obtained the knowleged

Beatty believes books and any conversation about them to be a waste of time, as shown earlier. He believes the knowledge in books, talking about “nonexistent people” and intellectuals arguing amongst themselves, to serve no purpose except to cause confusion and unhappiness to readers. By telling Montag that what he says and believes in is worthless, he aims to confuse, discourage and turn him against books.

After Captain Beatty tries to plant doubt in Montag's mind about the power

of books when they are in the firehouse, Faber says this to Montag.

The majority of individuals lacking immediate gratification

are uninterested in reading or doing something.

Through burning books and using claims about how books can

promote unhappiness, Beatty emphasizes this dislike of reading among the majority.

He is a central

figure in the world.

that people will soon know that he is a book killer, and that he will soon be paid off for his killing.

In his imagined verbal sparring, Beatty wanted to make it seem like he was calm and collected, while Montag was aggressive and frustrated - that Montag was clearly losing the debate. Earlier, this was shown through the contrast between the description of Montag's tone - "yell[ing], "scream[ing]" and "shriek[ing]" - and Beatty's tone - "whisper[ing]", crying out "in good humour" and speaking "with rare serenity". This quote further carries this notion, with Beatty mocking and making fun of his sparring partner for getting roused and zealous. This is all done so that Montag (in real life) would view books and knowledge as a futile lost cause and thus would be more encouraged to abandon them.

This anti-book public opinion is horrible - it's harmful to the public's happiness and self-fulfilment and it can't be reversed easily, especially not by us two.
