Contextual Overview
1 Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, 2 And you, son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh to the land of Israel, An end: the end has come on the four corners of the land. 3 Now the end is on you, and I will send my anger on you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your disgusting behaviors. 4 And my eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity; but I will bring your ways on you, and your disgusting behaviors shall be in the midst of you: and you shall know that I am Yahweh. 5 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: An evil, an only evil; look, it comes. 6 An end has come, the end has come; it awakes against you; look, it comes. 7 Your doom has come to you, O inhabitant of the land: the time has come, the day is near, [a day of] tumult, and not [of] joyful shouting, on the mountains. 8 Now I will shortly pour out my wrath on you, and accomplish my anger against you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your disgusting behaviors. 9 And my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will bring on you according to your ways; and your disgusting behaviors shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I, Yahweh, do smite. 10 Look, the day, see it comes: your doom has gone forth; the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.

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.
