Sam Torode's verion of the Song of Songs, which was the inspiration for his book The Dirty Parts of the Bible is not a scholarly version, whatever that means, but it's pleasant to read and a document of the author's engagement with the ancient poem.
Quotes:
Love is an eternal fire— one spark will set you ablaze. Oceans can’t extinguish it, rivers can’t wash it away. If a man tried to buy love— even with all of his family’s wealth— he would be scorned, ridiculed.
