Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Japanese
- English (US)
For “doesn’t always follow its contents,” I left it alone, but I think a better phrase for that would be “isn’t always indicative of its content”

Your original translation was good.
I might explain it’s meaning as: “Things aren’t always the way they appear. So don’t judge something by it’s looks.”
Does that help? I wish my Japanese was better, I would try.
