“We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:”
Daniel confesses: "We have sinned and done wrong, acted wickedly, rebelled, and turned aside from your commandments and ordinances"—adopting corporate identity with the exiled community and accepting responsibility for collective sin that brought divine judgment. His use of "we" rather than "they" demonstrates prophetic solidarity with sinners and rejection of self-righteous separation. The enumeration of sins (sinned, wrong, wickedness, rebellion, disobedience) expresses comprehensive moral failure.
