angels and demons
Heaven and hell's agents
Angels and demons are opposing supernatural beings in religious and mythological traditions—angels serving as divine messengers or guardians, demons as malevolent spirits or tempters.
The pairing represents cosmic struggle between good and evil, light and darkness.
The phrase often describes any situation involving sharply contrasting moral forces: Everyone has their angels and demons.
