“Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” (Matthew 9:13)

And if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless.” (Matthew 12:7)

Maybe it’s a coincidence, but Jesus twice told people that they needed to learn the meaning of Hosea 6:6.

Let’s say it’s not a coincidence. What do you think is so important about this verse that would make Jesus quote it twice?
