Context of Ezekiel 7:5
3The end is upon you. I will send My anger on you. I will judge you according to your ways. I will bring all your abominations on you. 4My eyes will not spare you nor will I have pity, but I will bring your ways upon you, for your abominations in your midst. Then you will know that I am Adonai.” Thus says Adonai Elohim: An evil, a singular evil, behold, it comes. 6An end has come, the end has come! It has awakened against you. Look, it is coming! 7Doom has come upon you, inhabitant of the land! The time has come, the day is near—panic, not joyful shouting on the hills.

Commentaries on Ezekiel 7:5
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5An 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.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5An only evil - An evil singular and remarkable above all others.Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 5-9A second message repeats that the coming judgment would be personal. The people would not only know that God is the Lord, as in Ezekiel 7:4. They would feel his judgment in their own lives. The Lord, who once revealed himself to his people as “the LORD who heals you” (Exodus 15:26), had now become “the LORD, who strikes the blow.” The day of the Lord had arrived. This is a time when God steps in to judge and act in power (Joel 1:15; Amos 5:18–20).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 55. An evil, an only evil--a peculiar calamity such as was never before; unparalleled. The abruptness of the style and the repetitions express the agitation of the prophet's mind in foreseeing these calamities.Read the comment
