They were foolish in their rebellious ways
."Some people were foolish" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
in their rebellious ways
The word "ways" refers to how a person acts. AT: "because they refused to obey." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
and afflicted because of their sins
"they became sick because of their sins"
they came close to the gates of death
AT: "they almost died." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)
Then they called out…their distress
See how you translated this in Psalms 107:11.
