{28:58} And how many a town have We destroyed that was insolent about its living. Those are their dwellings - they have not been inhabited after them except briefly. And it is We who were the inheritors.

{28:59} And never would your Lord have destroyed the cities until He had sent to their mother a messenger reciting to them Our verses. And We would not destroy the cities except while their people were wrongdoers.

I suggest,
{28:59} And never would your Lord have destroyed the towns until He had sent to their mother (Mecca) a messenger reciting to them Our verses. And We would not destroy the towns except while their people were wrongdoers.
