Isaiah 3:26

 1 See now, the Lord, the Lord Almighty, is about to take from Jerusalem and Judah both supply and support:   all supplies of food   and all supplies of water,    2     the hero and the warrior,   the judge and the prophet, the diviner   and the elder,    3 the captain of fifty   and the man of rank,   the counselor, skilled craftsman   and clever enchanter.    4 “I will make mere youths their officials; children will rule over them.”    5 People will oppress each other— man against man, neighbor against neighbor.   The young will rise up against the old, the nobody against the honored.  6 A man will seize one of his brothers in his father’s house, and say, “You have a cloak, you be our leader; take charge of this heap of ruins!”  7 But in that day   he will cry out, “I have no remedy.   I have no food   or clothing in my house; do not make me the leader of the people.”    8 Jerusalem staggers, Judah is falling;   their words   and deeds   are against the Lord, defying   his glorious presence.  9 The look on their faces testifies   against them; they parade their sin like Sodom;   they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster   upon themselves.  10 Tell the righteous it will be well   with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.    11 Woe to the wicked!   Disaster   is upon them! They will be paid back   for what their hands have done.    12 Youths   oppress my people, women rule over them. My people, your guides lead you astray;   they turn you from the path.  13 The Lord takes his place in court;   he rises to judge   the people.  14 The Lord enters into judgment   against the elders and leaders of his people: “It is you who have ruined my vineyard; the plunder   from the poor   is in your houses.  15 What do you mean by crushing my people   and grinding   the faces of the poor?”   declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.    16 The Lord says, “The women of Zion   are haughty, walking along with outstretched necks,   flirting with their eyes, strutting along with swaying hips, with ornaments jingling on their ankles.  17 Therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion; the Lord will make their scalps bald.  ” 18 In that day   the Lord will snatch away their finery: the bangles and headbands and crescent necklaces,   19 the earrings and bracelets   and veils,   20 the headdresses   and anklets and sashes, the perfume bottles and charms, 21 the signet rings and nose rings,   22 the fine robes and the capes and cloaks,   the purses 23 and mirrors, and the linen garments   and tiaras   and shawls.  24 Instead of fragrance   there will be a stench;   instead of a sash,   a rope; instead of well-dressed hair, baldness;   instead of fine clothing, sackcloth;   instead of beauty,   branding.    25 Your men will fall by the sword,   your warriors in battle.    26 The gates   of Zion will lament and mourn;   destitute,   she will sit on the ground.  

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.
