They will proclaim my glory among the nations. 20 And they will bring all your people, from all the nations, to my holy mountain in Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord—on horses, in chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels,” says the Lord. “They will bring them, as the Israelites bring their grain offerings, to the temple of the Lord in ceremonially clean vessels. 21 And I will select some of them also to be priests and Levites,” says the Lord. 22 “As the new heavens and the new earth that I make will endure before me,” declares the Lord, “so will your name and descendants endure. 23 From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come and bow down before me,” says the Lord. 24 “And they will go out and look on the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; the worms that eat them will not die, the fire that burns them will not be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”

 1 This is what the Lord says: “Heaven is my throne,   and the earth is my footstool.   Where is the house   you will build for me? Where will my resting place be?  2 Has not my hand made all these things,   and so they came into being?” declares the Lord. “These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit,   and who tremble at my word.    3 But whoever sacrifices a bull   is like one who kills a person, and whoever offers a lamb is like one who breaks a dog’s neck; whoever makes a grain offering is like one who presents pig’s   blood, and whoever burns memorial incense   is like one who worships an idol. They have chosen their own ways,   and they delight in their abominations;    4 so I also will choose harsh treatment for them and will bring on them what they dread.   For when I called, no one answered,   when I spoke, no one listened. They did evil   in my sight and chose what displeases me.”    5 Hear the word of the Lord, you who tremble at his word:   “Your own people who hate   you, and exclude you because of my name, have said, ‘Let the Lord be glorified, that we may see your joy!’ Yet they will be put to shame.    6 Hear that uproar from the city, hear that noise from the temple! It is the sound   of the Lord repaying   his enemies all they deserve.  7 “Before she goes into labor,   she gives birth; before the pains come upon her, she delivers a son.    8 Who has ever heard of such things? Who has ever seen   things like this? Can a country be born in a day   or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children.    9 Do I bring to the moment of birth   and not give delivery?” says the Lord. “Do I close up the womb when I bring to delivery?” says your God.  10 “Rejoice   with Jerusalem and be glad for her, all you who love   her; rejoice greatly with her, all you who mourn   over her.  11 For you will nurse   and be satisfied at her comforting breasts;   you will drink deeply and delight in her overflowing abundance.”   12 For this is what the Lord says: “I will extend peace   to her like a river,   and the wealth   of nations like a flooding stream; you will nurse and be carried   on her arm and dandled on her knees.  13 As a mother comforts her child,   so will I comfort   you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.”  14 When you see this, your heart will rejoice   and you will flourish   like grass; the hand   of the Lord will be made known to his servants,   but his fury   will be shown to his foes.  15 See, the Lord is coming with fire,   and his chariots   are like a whirlwind;   he will bring down his anger with fury, and his rebuke   with flames of fire.  16 For with fire   and with his sword   the Lord will execute judgment   on all people, and many will be those slain   by the Lord. 17 “Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens,   following one who is among those who eat the flesh of pigs,   rats   and other unclean things—they will meet their end   together with the one they follow,” declares the Lord. 18 “And I, because of what they have planned and done,   am about to come  and gather the people of all nations   and languages, and they will come and see my glory.   19 “I will set a sign   among them, and I will send some of those who survive   to the nations—to Tarshish,   to the Libyans  and Lydians   (famous as archers), to Tubal   and Greece,   and to the distant islands   that have not heard of my fame or seen my glory.   They will proclaim my glory among the nations. 20 And they will bring   all your people, from all the nations, to my holy mountain   in Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord—on horses, in chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels,”   says the Lord. “They will bring them, as the Israelites bring their grain offerings, to the temple of the Lord in ceremonially clean vessels.   21 And I will select some of them also to be priests   and Levites,” says the Lord. 22 “As the new heavens and the new earth   that I make will endure before me,” declares the Lord, “so will your name and descendants endure.   23 From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath   to another, all mankind will come and bow down   before me,” says the Lord. 24 “And they will go out and look on the dead bodies   of those who rebelled   against me; the worms   that eat them will not die, the fire that burns them will not be quenched,   and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”

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.
