Nahum 1:15

 1 A prophecy   concerning Nineveh.   The book of the vision   of Nahum the Elkoshite. 2 The Lord is a jealous   and avenging God; the Lord takes vengeance   and is filled with wrath. The Lord takes vengeance on his foes and vents his wrath against his enemies.    3 The Lord is slow to anger   but great in power; the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished.   His way is in the whirlwind   and the storm,   and clouds   are the dust of his feet.  4 He rebukes   the sea and dries it up;   he makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel   wither and the blossoms of Lebanon fade.  5 The mountains quake   before him and the hills melt away.   The earth trembles   at his presence, the world and all who live in it.    6 Who can withstand   his indignation? Who can endure   his fierce anger?   His wrath is poured out like fire;   the rocks are shattered   before him.  7 The Lord is good,   a refuge in times of trouble.   He cares for   those who trust in him,    8     but with an overwhelming flood   he will make an end of Nineveh; he will pursue his foes into the realm of darkness.  9 Whatever they plot   against the Lord he will bring  to an end; trouble will not come a second time.  10 They will be entangled among thorns   and drunk   from their wine; they will be consumed like dry stubble.     11 From you, Nineveh, has one come forth who plots evil against the Lord and devises wicked plans. 12 This is what the Lord says: “Although they have allies and are numerous, they will be destroyed   and pass away. Although I have afflicted you, Judah, I will afflict you no more.    13 Now I will break their yoke   from your neck and tear your shackles away.”    14 The Lord has given a command concerning you, Nineveh: “You will have no descendants to bear your name.   I will destroy the images   and idols that are in the temple of your gods. I will prepare your grave,   for you are vile.”  15 Look, there on the mountains, the feet of one who brings good news,   who proclaims peace!   Celebrate your festivals,   Judah, and fulfill your vows. No more will the wicked invade you;   they will be completely destroyed. 

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.
