Psalms 1:1:
Blessed are those who do not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers
(NIV)
BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather.
(AMP)
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
(KJV)

2 Peter 3:3:
Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.
(NIV)
To begin with, you must know and understand this, that scoffers (mockers) will come in the last days with scoffing, [people who] walk after their own fleshly desires
(AMP)
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
(KJV)
