Isaiah 1:9

 2 Hear me, you heavens! Listen, earth!   For the Lord has spoken:   “I reared children   and brought them up, but they have rebelled   against me.  3 The ox knows   its master, the donkey its owner’s manger,   but Israel does not know,   my people do not understand.  ”  4 Woe to the sinful nation, a people whose guilt is great,   a brood of evildoers,   children given to corruption!   They have forsaken   the Lord; they have spurned the Holy One   of Israel and turned their backs   on him.  5 Why should you be beaten   anymore? Why do you persist   in rebellion?   Your whole head is injured, your whole heart   afflicted.    6 From the sole of your foot to the top of your head   there is no soundness  — only wounds and welts   and open sores, not cleansed or bandaged   or soothed with olive oil.    7 Your country is desolate,   your cities burned with fire;   your fields are being stripped by foreigners   right before you, laid waste as when overthrown by strangers.    8 Daughter Zion   is left   like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut   in a cucumber field, like a city under siege.  9 Unless the Lord Almighty had left us some survivors,   we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah.   

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.
