AFAIK the simple, unsuffixed verb {bel} has never been used in a sentenced.
KGT 71: Among Klingons, pleasure is deemed quite unessential for one's well-being.
Related vocabulary:
belHa' be displeased (v)
belHa'moH displease (v)
belmoH please (v)
bel pleasure, joy (n)
belghach "pleasureness" (n) (a "marked term")
belpu'ghach "having been pleased" (n) (a "marked term")
