Amos 9:15

 1 I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and he said: “Strike the tops of the pillars so that the thresholds shake. Bring them down on the heads   of all the people; those who are left I will kill with the sword. Not one will get away, none will escape.    2 Though they dig down to the depths below,   from there my hand will take them. Though they climb up to the heavens above,   from there I will bring them down.    3 Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel,   there I will hunt them down and seize them.   Though they hide from my eyes at the bottom of the sea,   there I will command the serpent   to bite them.    4 Though they are driven into exile by their enemies, there I will command the sword   to slay them. “I will keep my eye on them for harm   and not for good.  ”    5 The Lord, the Lord Almighty— he touches the earth and it melts,   and all who live in it mourn; the whole land rises like the Nile, then sinks like the river of Egypt;    6 he builds his lofty palace    in the heavens and sets its foundation  on the earth; he calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out over the face of the land— the Lord is his name.    7 “Are not you Israelites the same to me as the Cushites ?”   declares the Lord. “Did I not bring Israel up from Egypt, the Philistines   from Caphtor    and the Arameans from Kir?    8 “Surely the eyes of the Sovereign Lord are on the sinful kingdom. I will destroy   it from the face of the earth. Yet I will not totally destroy the descendants of Jacob,” declares the Lord.    9 “For I will give the command, and I will shake the people of Israel among all the nations as grain   is shaken in a sieve,   and not a pebble will reach the ground.    10 All the sinners among my people will die by the sword,   all those who say, ‘Disaster will not overtake or meet us.’   11 “In that day “I will restore David’s   fallen shelter  — I will repair its broken walls and restore its ruins  — and will rebuild it as it used to be,    12 so that they may possess the remnant of Edom   and all the nations that bear my name,   ” declares the Lord, who will do these things.   13 “The days are coming,”   declares the Lord, “when the reaper   will be overtaken by the plowman   and the planter by the one treading   grapes. New wine   will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills,    14     and I will bring   my people Israel back from exile.    “They will rebuild the ruined cities   and live in them. They will plant vineyards   and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit.    15 I will plant   Israel in their own land,   never again to be uprooted   from the land I have given them,”   says the Lord your God.  

From Wikipedia: 

The New International Version (NIV) is an English translation of the Bible first published in 1978 by Biblica (formerly the International Bible Society). The NIV was published to meet the need for a modern translation done by Bible scholars using the earliest, highest quality manuscripts available. Of equal importance was that the Bible be expressed in broadly understood modern English.

The NIV is published by Zondervan in the United States and Hodder & Stoughton in the UK. The NIV was updated in 1984 and 2011 and has become one of the most popular and best-selling modern translations.
