For we have sinned and committed iniquity, departing from you.
All Commentaries on Daniel 3:29 Go To Daniel 3
Jerome
AD 420
Now of course the three youths had not sinned, nor were they old enough when brought to Babylon to warrant being punished for their own faults. Consequently they were speaking as representatives of their people, in the same manner as the Apostle had to state: "For what I wish to do, that I do not; but what I do not want, that I carry into effect" (Rom 7:19), and so on with the rest of that same passage.
