The question raised in Ayah 79 is for showing Allah’s signs and for Humans to ponder on it, while He counts the favors done on mankind, although they recognize the favors but do not acknowledge them being ungrateful. The remaining verses are describing how they will be punished and the witnesses will be brought forth and all that was worshipped besides Allah will go away, the partners of Allah will deny calling their worshipers liars.
