42 Unless the God of my father Abraham, and the fear of Isaac had stood by me, peradventure now thou hadst sent me away naked: God beheld my affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesterday.

4181. 'You would now have sent me away empty-handed' means that it would have claimed all things to itself. This is clear from the meaning of 'sending away empty-handed' as taking all things away from him, and so claiming all for itself.
