A Conspiracy of Corruption
Commentators explain that this verse describes a society where corruption is not isolated but systemic. The political leaders ('the prince'), the courts ('the judge'), and the wealthy elite ('the great man') all conspire together. They 'weave' or 'twist' justice to serve their own interests, creating a powerful and inescapable web of injustice that oppresses the common person.
