“Be at one's wits' end”in other languages

Same idea, different pictures

English at one's wits' end comes from the Bible: in Psalm 107, sailors caught in a storm are “at their wit's end”. English can also not know which way to turn, like someone lost at a crossroads.

Italian doesn't know which fish to catch, non sapere che pesci pigliare, and Slovak has come to the ends, byť v koncoch. French no longer knows where to turn its head, ne plus savoir où donner de la tête, which leans toward being swamped with work.
