quran:20:44 –

And speak to him with gentle speech that perhaps he may be reminded or fear ˹Allah˺."  

And speak to him gentle words, for him to renounce such ˹claims˺, that perhaps he may be mindful, be admonished, or fear’, God and so repent — the ‘hope’ ˹for Pharaoh’s repentance˺ is ˹expressed˺ from their perspective, for God knows that he was not going to repent.
القرآن:٢٠:٤٤ –

فَقُولَا لَهُ قَوْلًا لَيِّنًا لَعَلَّهُ يَتَذَكَّرُ أَوْ يَخْشَىٰ  

{فقولا له قولا لينا} في رجوعه عن ذلك {لعله يتذكر} يتعظ {أو يخشى} الله فيرجع والترجي بالنسبة إليهما لعلمه تعالى بأنه لا يرجع.
