Job 3:8

Let those who curse days (Hebr. jom) curse it,
those who are ready to awaken Leviathan.
[This refers to sorcerers such as Balaam, see Num. 23:27. The word for day (Hebr. jom) is similar to the word for sea (Hebr. jam), where the sea monster is found, which is also described in detail later, see Job 40:20.]
