Whoever is generous to the poor lends to YHWH, and he will repay him for his deed.
Proverbs 19:17
This isn't a promise of wealth in exchange for charity. It's a general principle that being generous with the poor doesn't make a person poorer because God arranges things to at least even out the scales. Even then, your return might not be in material wealth, but in friendship and a good name.

Hint: Numbers 2
As the Creator is agonizing about mankind once again, He reminds us to consider this — Isaiah 2:22, “Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?” Mankind’s empty words are meaningless when we are too arrogant and prideful for repentance and leading others into sin.
Small Straws by Marsha Burns
Humility looks good on you. No one likes a proud look or haughty countenance. Only the foolish rise up in pride as they seek to overcome insecurity. You will find your security in relationship with the Most High God, and setting your heart on His pleasure instead of trying to gain the approval of man. Proverbs 16:18-19 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
