Torah (Genesis through Deuteronomy), Neviim (the Prophets, books like Isaiah and Ezekiel), Ketuvim (the Writings, books like Ruth and Job).
The prophets themselves. The Torah: Moses Joshua: Joshua Judges, Ruth, Samuel: Samuel Kings, Jeremiah, Lamentations: Jeremiah Isaiah: Isaiah Ezekiel: Ezekiel Twelve Prophets: each wrote his book Psalms: David Proverbs, Song of Songs, Ecclesiastes: Solomon Job, Ezra, Chronicles: Ezra Esther: Esther and Mordecai Nehemiah: Nehemiah Daniel: Daniel

They are three different things. The Torah is chiefly a book of laws and beliefs. The Prophets do not add any law; rather, they come to uphold the Torah itself, and to warn against its transgressors. The rest of the Scriptures (the Writings: Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Daniel, etc.) are mostly poetic works of piety, knowledge and wisdom. All three sections also contain some history and some future prophecies. See also:What_is_the_history_of_the_Jewish_Bible
