3 verses have
desist
in Edition Clear Qur'an by Talal Itani / Al-Anfaal (The Spoils of War)

8:19If you desire a verdict, the verdict has come to you. And if you desist, it would be best for you. And if you return, We will return; and your troops, however numerous, will not benefit you. God is with the believers.

8:38Say to those who disbelieve: if they desist, their past will be forgiven. But if they persist—the practice of the ancients has passed away.

8:39Fight them until there is no more persecution, and religion becomes exclusively for God. But if they desist—God is Seeing of what they do.
