Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.
You will look for your enemies and not be able to find them. Those who fought against you and made war with you will become like nothing, they will completely disappear.
God is promising that the enemies who oppose His people will vanish and become powerless.
