Donald J.Trump shares Bible verse on justice and righteousness

The president posted Amos 5:24, a passage often linked to civil rights discourse, on his Truth Social account.

WHITE HOUSE — Donald J.Trump shared a biblical verse calling for justice and righteousness on a Truth Social post on June 23, 2026 at 3:37 PM EST.

Here is the full post (see truthsocial.com): “Verse of the Day Amos 5:24 NIV But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!”

The post featured a digital devotional-style graphic with the text of Amos 5:24 from the New International Version of the Bible set against a gradient background of warm orange and deep purple tones. The format resembles cards produced by popular Bible apps for sharing on social media platforms.

Amos 5:24 holds a prominent place in American public life. The verse gained widespread recognition after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.quoted it in his 1963 “I Have a Dream” speech and other civil rights addresses. It has since become a touchstone in discussions of social justice, moral accountability, and faith-based advocacy (see truthsocial).

Trump did not add personal commentary to the post beyond the verse text. The passage emphasizes themes of justice and righteousness, calling for both to flow with the constancy and force of a river. Biblical scholars place the Book of Amos among the prophetic texts that challenged societal complacency and urged accountability from those in power.

The post falls within a broader pattern of culture-themed content from the president’s account. In the last 30 days, 18 of 640 Trump posts were on the topic of culture, a category that includes religious content, holiday greetings, and social commentary.

Trump has periodically shared Bible verses and religious imagery on his social media accounts, particularly around holidays and national observances. The timing of this post did not coincide with a major religious holiday or widely noted anniversary, leaving the specific motivation unclear.
