Jeremiah 5:28

 27 Like cages full of birds, their houses are full of deceit;   they have become rich   and powerful  28     and have grown fat   and sleek. Their evil deeds have no limit; they do not seek justice. They do not promote the case of the fatherless;   they do not defend the just cause of the poor.   

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.
