Contextual Overview
1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying: 2 Thou therefore O son of man. Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, To the so of Israel, there is an end,- The end hath come upon the four skirts of the land. 3 Now is the end upon thee, Therefore will I send mine anger against thee, And judge these according to thy ways,- And lay upon thee all thine abominations; 4 And mine eye shall not shield thee. Neither will I pity, - . For thy ways - upon thee, will I lay. And thine abominations in thy midst, shall be found, So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh. 5 Thus saith My Lord Yahweh:A calamity, a sole calamity, lo! it hath come. 6 An end hath come, Come hath the end It hath roused itself up against thee, - Lo! it hath come. 7 The circle hath come round unto thee. O inhabitant of the land,- The time hath come L The day of consternation hath drawn near. And not the joyful shout of the mountain. 8 Now shortly, will I pour out mine indignation upon thee, And will bring to an end mine anger against thee, And will judge thee according to thy ways,- And will lay upon thee all thine abominations. 9 And mine eye shall not shield thee Neither will I have pity, - According to thy ways, tunic thee will I render, And thine abominations, in thy midst shall be found, So shall ye know that I, Yahweh am smiting. 10 Lo! the day, Lo! it hath come, The circle hath gone forth, The sceptre I hath blossomed Insolence hath sprouted:

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thus saith the Lord God,.... Here should be a stop, a colon, requiring attention to what follows, it being something awful and terrible:
an evil, an only evil, behold, it cometh; meaning the destruction of the city and temple; which, though but one, was such an one as was never known before nor was there any like it. The Targum is,
"evil after evil, lo, it cometh;''
one evil after another; when one evil is gone, another comes, as in Ezekiel 7:26. The Syriac version is, "behold, evil for evil comes"; the evil of punishment for the evil of sin.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
An only evil - An evil singular and remarkable above all others.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 7:5. An evil, an only evil — The great, the sovereign, the last exterminating evil, is come: the sword, the pestilence, the famine, and the captivity. Many MSS. read אחר achar, after. So evil cometh after evil; one instantly succeeds another.
