Exegesis
The causal conjunction hoti {ὅτι | HO-ti} introduces the ground for this warning: ergon ergazomai egō {ἔργον ἐργάζομαι ἐγὼ | Ér-gon er-GÁ-zo-mai e-GÓ}, where the object–verb–subject order frontloads ergon ‘work’ for emphasis, while the explicit egō reinforces the identity and authority of the speaker.
The repetition ergon ho {ἔργον ὃ | Ér-gon ho} forms a relative clause that picks up and restates the “work,” highlighting its extraordinary nature.
Root and etymology
ergonepsilon–rho–gamma–omicron–nu
“work, deed, action”
In context — Acts 13:41
Look, you despisers , and be astonished and perish , because I am doing a work in your days, a work which you will by no means believe, even if someone fully tells it to you.
