Ignoring God's Word
Commentators like Spurgeon and Ellicott explain that Daniel is confessing an "aggravation of guilt." The sin of the people was made far worse because they actively ignored the clear, repeated warnings sent by God through His prophets. This teaches that sinning in defiance of God's revealed will is exceptionally serious.
