Ezekiel 7:5

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

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 Eze 7:26.
