8:19

If you [disbelievers] seek the victory – the defeat has come to you. And if you desist [from
hostilities], it is best for you; but if you return [to war], We will return, and never will you be availed by your [large] company at all, even if it should increase; and [that is] because Allah is with the believers.
Meaning:-
Desist: to suspend or cause to suspend activity, stop applies to action or progress
hostilities: Hostilities were suspended (= fighting stopped temporarily) during the talks.
