Summary:  We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the two-operator weighted inequality $\Big(\int\limits_0\sp\infty\!\Big(\frac1t\!\int\limits_0\sp t f(s)\mathrm{d}s\Big)\sp q\!w(t)\dd t\Big)\sp{1/q} \!\!\!\leqslant\!\! C \Big(\int\limits_0\sp\infty\!\Big(\int\limits_t\sp{\infty}\!\frac{f(s)}s\dd s\Big)\sp p\!v(t)\dd t\Big)\sp{1/p}.$ We use this inequality to study embedding properties between the function spaces $S\sp p(u)$ equipped with the norm $\|f\|_{S\sp p(u)}\!=\! \!\Big(\!\int\limits_{0}^{\infty}[f\sp{**}\!(t)\!-\!f\sp*\!(t)]\sp pu(t)\dd t\Big)\sp{1/p}$ and the classical Lorentz spaces $\Lambda\sp p(v)$ and $\Gamma\sp q(w)$. Moreover, we solve the only missing open case of the embedding $\Lambda\sp p(v)\hra\Gamma\sp q(w)$, where $0<q<p\leqslant 1$.
