Verse 43 and 44, men are represented as trees and plants. Men of different nations are brought up with different laws, beliefs and loyalties. So people should not expect everyone on earth to think the same way. However righteousness is a concept all share together, truth is truth, what is fair for one should be fair for all equality. Thorns and brambles represent conflict and killing and the message is that what is good is not produced in that way. One can not force ones beliefs on others for all fall short of the Divine Mind of God. All need correction. Perhaps the word treasure is used in verse 45 because much of the world conflict is based in the desire of economic power. If a mans heart is focused on material wealth then evil takes over him and he does not care what happens to anyone else as long as he gets rich.
