Micah 4:13

 1 In the last days the mountain   of the Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills,   and peoples will stream to it.   2 Many nations will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,   to the temple of the God of Jacob.   He will teach us   his ways,   so that we may walk in his paths.” The law   will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.  3 He will judge between many peoples and will settle disputes for strong nations far and wide.   They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks.   Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war   anymore.    4 Everyone will sit under their own vine and under their own fig tree,   and no one will make them afraid,   for the Lord Almighty has spoken.    5 All the nations may walk in the name of their gods,   but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.   6 “In that day,” declares the Lord, “I will gather the lame;   I will assemble the exiles   and those I have brought to grief.    7 I will make the lame my remnant,   those driven away a strong nation.   The Lord will rule over them in Mount Zion   from that day and forever.    8 As for you, watchtower of the flock, stronghold  of Daughter Zion, the former dominion will be restored   to you; kingship will come to Daughter Jerusalem.  ”  9 Why do you now cry aloud— have you no king   ? Has your ruler  perished, that pain seizes you like that of a woman in labor?    10 Writhe in agony, Daughter Zion, like a woman in labor, for now you must leave the city to camp in the open field. You will go to Babylon;   there you will be rescued. There the Lord will redeem   you out of the hand of your enemies.  11 But now many nations are gathered against you. They say, “Let her be defiled, let our eyes gloat   over Zion!”  12 But they do not know the thoughts of the Lord; they do not understand his plan,   that he has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.  13 “Rise and thresh,   Daughter Zion, for I will give you horns of iron; I will give you hooves of bronze, and you will break to pieces many nations.”   You will devote their ill-gotten gains to the Lord,   their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.

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.
