Commentators stress that Daniel's advice to "break off" sins isn't just about feeling sorry; it demands a radical change in behavior. True repentance involves actively stopping injustice and starting to practice righteousness and show tangible "mercy to the poor." It's a call to change one's entire way of life, not just one's mind.
