 1 “This is what the Lord says to his anointed,   to Cyrus,   whose right hand I take hold   of to subdue nations   before him and to strip kings of their armor, to open doors before him so that gates will not be shut:  2 I will go before you   and will level   the mountains ; I will break down gates   of bronze and cut through bars of iron.    3 I will give you hidden treasures,   riches stored in secret places,   so that you may know   that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who summons you by name.    4 For the sake of Jacob my servant,   of Israel my chosen, I summon you by name and bestow on you a title of honor, though you do not acknowledge   me.  5 I am the Lord, and there is no other;   apart from me there is no God.   I will strengthen you,   though you have not acknowledged me,  6 so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting   people may know   there is none besides me.   I am the Lord, and there is no other.  7 I form the light and create darkness,   I bring prosperity and create disaster;   I, the Lord, do all these things.  8 “You heavens above, rain   down my righteousness;   let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation   spring up, let righteousness flourish with it; I, the Lord, have created it.  9 “Woe to those who quarrel   with their Maker,   those who are nothing but potsherds   among the potsherds on the ground. Does the clay say to the potter,   ‘What are you making?’   Does your work say, ‘The potter has no hands’?    10 Woe to the one who says to a father, ‘What have you begotten?’ or to a mother, ‘What have you brought to birth?’  11 “This is what the Lord says— the Holy One   of Israel, and its Maker:   Concerning things to come, do you question me about my children, or give me orders about the work of my hands?    12 It is I who made the earth   and created mankind on it. My own hands stretched out the heavens;   I marshaled their starry hosts.    13 I will raise up Cyrus    in my righteousness: I will make all his ways straight.   He will rebuild my city   and set my exiles free, but not for a price or reward,   says the Lord Almighty.” 14 This is what the Lord says: “The products   of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush,  and those tall Sabeans  — they will come over to you   and will be yours; they will trudge behind you,   coming over to you in chains.   They will bow down before you and plead   with you, saying, ‘Surely God is with you,   and there is no other; there is no other god.  ’”  15 Truly you are a God who has been hiding   himself, the God and Savior   of Israel.  16 All the makers of idols will be put to shame and disgraced;   they will go off into disgrace together.  17 But Israel will be saved   by the Lord with an everlasting salvation;   you will never be put to shame or disgraced,   to ages everlasting.  18 For this is what the Lord says— he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth,   he founded it; he did not create it to be empty,   but formed it to be inhabited  — he says: “I am the Lord, and there is no other.    19 I have not spoken in secret,   from somewhere in a land of darkness;   I have not said to Jacob’s descendants,   ‘Seek   me in vain.’ I, the Lord, speak the truth; I declare what is right.    20 “Gather together   and come; assemble, you fugitives from the nations. Ignorant   are those who carry   about idols of wood, who pray to gods that cannot save.    21 Declare what is to be, present it— let them take counsel together. Who foretold   this long ago, who declared it from the distant past?   Was it not I, the Lord? And there is no God apart from me,   a righteous God   and a Savior;   there is none but me.  22 “Turn   to me and be saved,   all you ends of the earth;   for I am God, and there is no other.    23 By myself I have sworn,   my mouth has uttered in all integrity   a word that will not be revoked:   Before me every knee will bow;   by me every tongue will swear.    24 They will say of me, ‘In the Lord alone are deliverance   and strength.  ’” All who have raged against him will come to him and be put to shame.    25 But all the descendants   of Israel will find deliverance   in the Lord and will make their boast in him.  

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.
