Gill's Notes on the Bible

And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity,.... Though the punishment will be heavy, and the lamentation will be great; see Ezekiel 5:11;

but I will recompense thy ways upon thee; the evil of punishment for the evil of sin, the righteous demerit of their actions:

and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; not taken away, unatoned for, and indeed not repented of. The Targum is,

"and the punishment of thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee:''

and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord; to whom vengeance belongs; who takes notice of sinful actions, and punishes for them; to whom appertain the perfections of omniscience, omnipotence, and punitive justice.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

A kind of refrain, repeated in Ezekiel 7:8-9, as the close of another stanza.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 7:4. Thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee — They shall ever stare thee in the face, upbraid thee with thy ingratitude and disobedience, and be witnesses against thee.
