Judgment Foretold
Commentators explain that the "curse" and "oath" Daniel mentions are not random punishments. They are the specific, forewarned consequences for disobedience written centuries earlier in the Law of Moses (e.g., Deuteronomy 28). Daniel's prayer affirms that God is perfectly just, and Israel's suffering is the direct result of their sin, just as God said it would be.
