Isaiah 29:24

 1 Woe   to you, Ariel, Ariel,   the city   where David settled! Add year to year and let your cycle of festivals   go on.  2 Yet I will besiege Ariel;   she will mourn and lament,   she will be to me like an altar hearth.     3 I will encamp against you on all sides; I will encircle   you with towers and set up my siege works   against you.  4 Brought low, you will speak from the ground; your speech will mumble   out of the dust.   Your voice will come ghostlike   from the earth; out of the dust your speech will whisper.    5 But your many enemies will become like fine dust,   the ruthless   hordes like blown chaff.   Suddenly,   in an instant,  6     the Lord Almighty will come   with thunder   and earthquake   and great noise, with windstorm and tempest   and flames of a devouring fire.    7 Then the hordes of all the nations   that fight against Ariel,   that attack her and her fortress and besiege her, will be as it is with a dream,   with a vision in the night—  8 as when a hungry person dreams of eating, but awakens   hungry still; as when a thirsty person dreams of drinking, but awakens faint and thirsty still.   So will it be with the hordes of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion.    9 Be stunned and amazed,   blind yourselves and be sightless;   be drunk,   but not from wine,   stagger,   but not from beer.  10 The Lord has brought over you a deep sleep:   He has sealed your eyes   (the prophets);   he has covered your heads (the seers).   11 For you this whole vision   is nothing but words sealed   in a scroll. And if you give the scroll to someone who can read, and say, “Read this, please,” they will answer, “I can’t; it is sealed.” 12 Or if you give the scroll to someone who cannot read, and say, “Read this, please,” they will answer, “I don’t know how to read.” 13 The Lord says: “These people   come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips,   but their hearts are far from me.   Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught.     14 Therefore once more I will astound these people with wonder upon wonder;   the wisdom of the wise   will perish, the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish.  ”  15 Woe to those who go to great depths to hide   their plans from the Lord, who do their work in darkness and think, “Who sees us?   Who will know?”    16 You turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay!   Shall what is formed say to the one who formed   it, “You did not make me”? Can the pot say to the potter,   “You know nothing”?    17 In a very short time,   will not Lebanon   be turned into a fertile field   and the fertile field seem like a forest?    18 In that day   the deaf   will hear the words of the scroll, and out of gloom and darkness   the eyes of the blind will see.    19 Once more the humble   will rejoice in the Lord; the needy   will rejoice in the Holy One   of Israel.  20 The ruthless   will vanish,   the mockers   will disappear, and all who have an eye for evil   will be cut down—  21 those who with a word make someone out to be guilty, who ensnare the defender in court   and with false testimony   deprive the innocent of justice.   22 Therefore this is what the Lord, who redeemed   Abraham,   says to the descendants of Jacob: “No longer will Jacob be ashamed;   no longer will their faces grow pale.    23 When they see among them their children,   the work of my hands,   they will keep my name holy;   they will acknowledge the holiness of the Holy One   of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.  24 Those who are wayward   in spirit will gain understanding;   those who complain will accept instruction.”  

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.
