 1 “Hear this, you priests! Pay attention, you Israelites! Listen, royal house! This judgment   is against you: You have been a snare   at Mizpah, a net   spread out on Tabor.  2 The rebels are knee-deep in slaughter.   I will discipline all of them.    3 I know all about Ephraim; Israel is not hidden   from me. Ephraim, you have now turned to prostitution; Israel is corrupt.    4 “Their deeds do not permit them to return   to their God. A spirit of prostitution   is in their heart; they do not acknowledge   the Lord.  5 Israel’s arrogance testifies   against them; the Israelites, even Ephraim, stumble   in their sin; Judah also stumbles with them.    6 When they go with their flocks and herds to seek the Lord,   they will not find him; he has withdrawn   himself from them.  7 They are unfaithful   to the Lord; they give birth to illegitimate   children. When they celebrate their New Moon feasts,   he will devour    their fields.  8 “Sound the trumpet   in Gibeah,   the horn in Ramah.   Raise the battle cry in Beth Aven ;   lead on, Benjamin.  9 Ephraim will be laid waste   on the day of reckoning.   Among the tribes of Israel I proclaim what is certain.    10 Judah’s leaders are like those who move boundary stones.   I will pour out my wrath   on them like a flood of water.  11 Ephraim is oppressed, trampled in judgment, intent on pursuing idols.     12 I am like a moth   to Ephraim, like rot   to the people of Judah.  13 “When Ephraim   saw his sickness, and Judah his sores, then Ephraim turned to Assyria,   and sent to the great king for help.   But he is not able to cure   you, not able to heal your sores.    14 For I will be like a lion   to Ephraim, like a great lion to Judah. I will tear them to pieces   and go away; I will carry them off, with no one to rescue them.    15 Then I will return to my lair   until they have borne their guilt   and seek my face  — in their misery   they will earnestly seek me.  ”

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.
