29. "O my people, yours is the sovereignty (76) today. You have dominance in the land. But who will save us from the punishment of Allah, if it comes (77) upon us?" Pharaoh said: "I show you only that which I see, and I do not tell you except that which leads to the (78) way of goodness."
The tafsir of Surah Muminun verse 29 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Muminun ayat 28 which provides the complete commentary from verse 28 through 29.
(40:29) My people, today the kingdom is yours, and you are supreme in the land. But if Allah’s chastisement were to come upon you, who will come to our help?”[48] Pharaoh said: “I only counsel what I consider right; I only direct you to the Path of Rectitude.”[49]
48. That is, why are you being ungrateful to Allah for His blessing of granting you domination in the land and are inviting His scourge to visit you?
49. From this answer of Pharaoh it appears that he had not yet found out that the noble of his court had become a Believer in his heart. That is why he did not show any displeasure at what he said, but made clear that he was not inclined to change his opinion even after hearing what he had to say.
