In the fourth verse the same matter has been emphasised even more strongly that do not lay waste to your Sadaqah (charity), either verbally by continuously reminding them of the Sadaqah you have given them, or through your behaviour by abusing or humiliating them.
In general, Quran Karim only describes the Principles (اصول) of Deen, and the details (فروع) are described in Ahadith and through the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet. For example, even for an Ibadah (act of worship) as great as Salah while the Quran Karim commands on many occasions that it should be prayed regularly, but we learn the details of how many Rika'at to pray in Fajar, how many in Zuhur, what to recite when when are standing, or when we are sitting, we learn the details of all of this through the Ahadith and the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet ﷺ. Now considering that Allah Ta'alah has repeatedly told us in Quran Karim not to hurt the feelings of those we give Sadaqah to, either verbally by repeatedly reminding them of the Sadaqah we have given them, or by behaving in an abusive or insulting manner, just tells us how important this is in Allah Ta'alah's view.
This makes it clear that if a person hurts deserving people after giving them Sadaqah, either verbally or through his behaviour, then his Sadaqah goes to waste and he doesn't get any thawab (reward) for it.
