    Interesting. In Brazil, it is used for a completely different expression: "Don't throw rocks on other people when you have a glass ceiling". Like, don't accuse other people when you are committing the same or similar sin.

      The usual expression in native English is: People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. The expression "glass ceiling" refers to a barrier to advancement, often by particular classes of individuals. This barrier is often invisible, denied, or simply not recognised by some people.
