 1 “Come, all you who are thirsty,   come to the waters;   and you who have no money, come, buy   and eat! Come, buy wine and milk   without money and without cost.    2 Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy?   Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,   and you will delight in the richest   of fare.  3 Give ear and come to me; listen,   that you may live.   I will make an everlasting covenant   with you, my faithful love   promised to David.    4 See, I have made him a witness   to the peoples, a ruler and commander   of the peoples.  5 Surely you will summon nations   you know not, and nations you do not know will come running to you,   because of the Lord your God, the Holy One   of Israel, for he has endowed you with splendor.”    6 Seek   the Lord while he may be found;   call   on him while he is near.  7 Let the wicked forsake   their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts.   Let them turn   to the Lord, and he will have mercy   on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.    8 “For my thoughts   are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,”   declares the Lord.  9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,   so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.    10 As the rain   and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish,   so that it yields seed   for the sower and bread for the eater,    11 so is my word   that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty,   but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose   for which I sent it.  12 You will go out in joy   and be led forth in peace;   the mountains and hills will burst into song   before you, and all the trees   of the field will clap their hands.    13 Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper, and instead of briers   the myrtle   will grow. This will be for the Lord’s renown,   for an everlasting sign, that will endure forever.”

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.
