Lost both worlds

Lost both worlds

Lost his life in this world and in the world to come. Figuratively: lost everything.

("Until your days are consumed in haste and fear, leaving you no heart or body fit to fulfill the commandments, so that you lose the life of the world to come — and thus you have lost both worlds." — Maimonides, Book of Knowledge, Laws of Repentance, Chapter 9, Section 2, 167)
