 1 Hear this word, you cows of Bashan   on Mount Samaria,   you women who oppress the poor   and crush the needy   and say to your husbands,   “Bring us some drinks!  ”  2 The Sovereign Lord has sworn by his holiness: “The time   will surely come when you will be taken away   with hooks,   the last of you with fishhooks.   3 You will each go straight out through breaches in the wall,   and you will be cast out toward Harmon, ” declares the Lord.  4 “Go to Bethel   and sin; go to Gilgal   and sin yet more. Bring your sacrifices every morning,   your tithes   every three years.     5 Burn leavened bread   as a thank offering and brag about your freewill offerings  — boast about them, you Israelites, for this is what you love to do,” declares the Sovereign Lord.  6 “I gave you empty stomachs in every city and lack of bread in every town, yet you have not returned to me,” declares the Lord.    7 “I also withheld   rain from you when the harvest was still three months away. I sent rain on one town, but withheld it from another.   One field had rain; another had none and dried up.  8 People staggered from town to town for water   but did not get enough   to drink, yet you have not returned   to me,” declares the Lord.    9 “Many times I struck your gardens and vineyards, destroying them with blight and mildew.   Locusts   devoured your fig and olive trees,   yet you have not returned   to me,” declares the Lord.  10 “I sent plagues   among you as I did to Egypt.   I killed your young men   with the sword, along with your captured horses. I filled your nostrils with the stench   of your camps, yet you have not returned to me,”   declares the Lord.    11 “I overthrew some of you as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.   You were like a burning stick   snatched from the fire, yet you have not returned to me,” declares the Lord.    12 “Therefore this is what I will do to you, Israel, and because I will do this to you, Israel, prepare to meet your God.”  13 He who forms the mountains,   who creates the wind,   and who reveals his thoughts   to mankind, who turns dawn to darkness, and treads on the heights of the earth  — the Lord God Almighty is his name.  

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.
