Meaning:

This is what they say about a guilty person and shows it through his behavior. He can't make eye contact, is busy, silent, or on the contrary, unnaturally animated. Internal guilt is manifested externally.

where is the picture from?

Imagine a cat that stole a piece of meat from the table. She doesn't look her owner in the eye, huddles in corners, tries to be invisible. She is betrayed by her quiet demeanor and averted gaze.

The proverb deals with the inseparable connection between action and conscience. Even if the guilt was hidden, it can be revealed by your body, your insecure behavior. Conscience lives inside.

"Know" is actually a verb!
