@KingDavid403 saidIt is well know by bible scholars that Matthews account of the Sermon on the Mount is clearer and more detailed. What you posted is Lukes account of the Beattitudes. In Matthew's account the words are made clearer.
There is no part of the bible where Jesus blesses those in poverty.
[Luke 6:20-21 NKJV] 20 "Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: "Blessed [are you] poor, For yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed [are you] who hunger now, For you shall be filled. Blessed [are you] who weep now, For you shall laugh." Goodnight . 😴
Poor = Poor in Spirit.
Hunger = Hunger after righteousness.

[Proverbs 14:20-21, 31 NKJV] 20 The poor [man] is hated even by his own neighbor, But the rich [has] many friends. 21 He who despises his neighbor sins; But he who has mercy on the poor, happy [is] he. ... 31 He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, But he who honors Him has mercy on the needy.

[Mark 12:41-44 NKJV] 41 Now Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money into the treasury. And many [who were] rich put in much. 42 Then one poor widow came and threw in two mites, which make a quadrans. 43 So He called His disciples to [Himself] and said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all those who have given to the treasury; 44 "for they all put in out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had, her whole livelihood."
