Buscarás a los que riñen contigo, pero no los hallarás; serán como nada, como si no existieran, los que te hacen guerra.
Los buscars, y no los hallars, los que tienen contienda contigo, sern como nada, y como cosa que no es, aquellos que te hacen guerra.
Mirars por ellos, y no los hallars. Los que tienen contienda contigo, sern como nada; y los que contigo tienen pendencia, como cosa que no es.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Ver. 12 Thou shall seek them, and shalt not find them,.... They not existing, or being fled into holes and corners, to rocks and mountains, to hide themselves from the wrath of the Lamb, Revelation 6:15:
even them that contended with thee; or, "the men of thy contention" p; who contended with them, not by words and arguments, but by severe persecutions, striving thereby to hinder the progress of the Gospel, and to root Christianity out of the world:
they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought: or, "the men of thy war" q; that proclaimed and carried on war against the Christians, in order to destroy them utterly; yet they, and all their efforts, came to nothing, the Gospel prevailed, and Paganism was utterly abolished; which came to pass in Constantine's time, at the opening of the sixth seal, Revelation 6:12 which is a proper comment on this text.
p אנשי מצתיך "viros jurgii tui", Montanus. q אנשי מלחמתך "viri belli tui", Vatablus; "pugnae tuae", Montanus.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Thou shalt seek them - This denotes that it would be impossible to find them, for they should cease to exist. The whole verse, with the verse following, is emphatic, repeating in varied terms what was said before, and meaning that their foes should be entirely destroyed.
