I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord GOD.
I'm going to make you absolutely terrifying, and then you'll be completely gone. People will search everywhere for you, but you'll never be found again, that's a promise from the Lord God.
When God says it's over, it's really over, no trace left behind.
