“Without a granary's cover, without a garment's cloak.”

Meaning

This proverb signifies the futility of striving for advanced or superficial things without first securing the fundamental and essential necessities. For example, it's pointless to gather a harvest if there is no cover for the granary to store it properly. Similarly, one cannot wear a cloak if they don't even have basic clothes. It generally emphasizes that basic needs must be met before aspiring to bigger tasks or better things.
