'Empty handed' in the Bible

But they took the slave and beat him and sent him away empty handed.

He has filled the hungry with good things and has sent the rich away empty-handed.

And when the [grape harvest] season came, the owner of the farm sent a slave to the tenant farmers, asking them for the grape harvest [to be delivered to him]. But the tenant farmers beat the slave and sent him away empty handed.

Then he sent out another slave [i.e., to arrange for receiving the crop], but the tenant farmers beat him also, shamefully abused him and sent him away empty handed [as well].
