Why will it be unlike the Bris with their fathers?

1.

Malbim: Their fathers were not prepared for perfection and Tikun. Their nature was for evil. This is why they annulled the Bris!

2)

Why does it say "Hecheziki v'Yadam Lehotzi'am"?

1.

Malbim: I held onto them strongly to take them out before the time. They were not ready; I needed to take them out lest they become totally ruined (via influence of the Egyptians).

3)

Why is there is a Segol under the Hei in "Hecheziki"?

1.

Radak: It is Makor (like an infinitive), like "Sechel Adam He'erich Apo" (Mishlei 19:11) 1 .

Even though Hechezik always has a Segol under the Hei, Hecheziki should have a Patach, like in Bereishis 21:18 and Nachum 3:14. (PF)

4)

Why does it say "Ba'alti Vam"?

1.

Radak: Even though Ba'alti Vam (Malbim - Bal Korcham (against their will) and I was Elokim to them, they annulled My Bris.

2.

Radak citing Targum Yonasan: I desired (or chose) them.

3.

Radak citing his father: Whenever an expression of Be'ilah is followed by Beis, it is for detriment. Ba'alti is like Bachalti 1 (I detested them), like Katzti, and like "v'Gam Nafsham Bachalah Vi" (Zecharyah 11:8).
