The Fifth Fire-verse of the Prophets was a part of a series of writings within Bajoran religion.

The Fifth verse stated:

The gentle breeze dies,

But the gale builds in passionate intensity;

The fire is ever in the breaching,

Not the building.

Major Kira Nerys meditated on these words when a Klingon Bird of prey nearly threatened to destroy the USS Defiant as the vessel exploded. (DS9 novel: Vengeance)
