In response to (and cross-posted at) Scott Alexander's "Semite Times: The Bible in Palindromes", and in honor of Purim coming up this weekend, I present the Book of Esther in palindromes:

Xerxes: sex rex.
“I aced! Romp, Mordecai!”
“Yet I, Haman, am a hit, ey?”
Doom-sore Hadassah has sad: a hero’s mood.
“Deliver! Susa has us reviled!”
—“Oh? Who?”
—“Sure! Us, Ahasuerus!"
I gag an Agagi.
Now is we Jews' "I won!"
