In the latest part the word jealous and words derived from it like jealousy is used in many places. Although it is very commonly misused (it is up there with literally), technically jealousy is when you don't want other people to have what belongs to you and envy is when you want something that belongs to you, envy would fit better in most of the places jealous appears. It wouldn't be a big deal if it was a one off because of how frequently jealous of misused, but when it is relating to the powers of the Devil of Envy being both inconsistent and incorrect with the terminology stands out a lot more.
While it is true that is one meaning of "jealous," Merriam-Webster's top definition for it also states it to mean, "hostile toward a rival or one believed to enjoy an advantage." Even stating that definition is equivalant to "envious." On the MW website, they also state that jealous can hold the same meaning as envious in the way "to describe someone who feels or shows a very strong desire for something that belongs to someone else."
