Instead of "L'habit ne fait pas le moine", in English we say "you can't judge a book by its cover"

We usually say "Don't judge a book by it's cover"
Instead of "L'habit ne fait pas le moine", in English we say "Clothes don't make the monk"

I was wondering, what does this mean in context? I know that literally it means "the habit does not make the monk". Does that mean "you can't judge a book by it's cover"? Or is it an expression that implies that just because a man wears a habit does not mean he is honest and holy? Like a "wolf in sheep's clothing"?
