I think what this verse is saying, that when we give to the poor, God will pay us back.


Pro 19:17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.


Gill commentary:


Pro 19:17 He that hath pity unto the poor lendeth unto the Lord,.... A man, whose heart is full of compassion to the poor, and whose hands distribute to their necessities, from a true principle of love and charity to men, and with a view to the glory of God, and not from any selfish principle and with a end; such a man's gift to the poor is a loan to the Lord; it is not cast away upon the creature, but is a "depositum" in the hands of God, and shall be returned with advantage;

and that which he hath given will, he pay him again; either in this life, in things temporal and spiritual, increasing his worldly substance, blessing his posterity, granting him larger measures of grace, indulging him with his gracious presence, and giving him peace of mind, which passeth all understanding; or in the world to come; not as a reward of debt, but of grace; see Ecc_11:1.

1ki 2:3And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest PROSPER in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:

All those in the Bible who died to self and live unto God and TRUELY walked with Him, werevery prosperous , but the key here is truely walked with Him, those that allowed His word to guide them not them that guided His Word to fit them
