Exegesis
The noun ma’aseh {מַעֲשֶׂה | ma-‘ă-sêh} “work” serves as the direct object, linked by the relative particle asher {אֲשֶׁר | ’ă-šer} to the verb ya’aseh {יַעֲשֶׂה | ya-‘ă-sêh} “will do.”
In context — Isaiah 19:15
And there will be no work for Egypt that the head or the tail, the branch or the reed can perform.
