How does Ben Sira value humility compared to giving gifts and alms?

17 My son, conduct your affairs with humility, and you will be loved more than a giver of gifts.

18 Humble yourself the more, the greater you are, and you will find mercy in the sight of God.

30 As water quenches a flaming fire, so almsgiving atones for sins.

31 The kindness people have done crosses their paths later on; should they stumble, they will find support.
