Of course, an obvious and perhaps superficial difference is that the Hebrew Scriptures do not include the Christian New Testament.
Apart from that, the most important difference is one of interpretation. Christians seem to have found in the Old Testament numerous prophecies that just prove that the Jews should have known all along that Jesus would come as the Messiah, but all this analysis has escaped the Jews and continues to do so.
Matthew's Gospel refers to Isaiah 7:14, where it was said that "this young woman" would conceive and have a baby - a prediction that comes true a few verses later. However, Matthew relied on the Septuagint, an early Greek translation that contains several translation errors. One error in the Septuagint was to replace "this young woman" by "a virgin". By taking this mistranslation, out of context, Matthew found a "prophecy" that the Messiah would be born of a virgin.
Another important Christian misinterpretation of the Book of Isaiah comes from chapter 14, which talks of the pomp and splendour of the king of Babylon, who had ruled the nations in anger, and his fate after his overthrow by the king of Persia. He had compared himself to the morning star (Lucifer, from Latin) and had thought that he would ascend into heaven and sit among the stars, but was now himself persecuted. He has become weak and like one of us; he will go to hell. This passage was misunderstood by Christian translators, resulting in the widespread Christian view that Lucifer and Satan are one. This is an interpretation of the Hebrew scriptures with which Judaism has never agreed.
Burton L. Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament) says there is a trick that he sees happen all the time, in the classrooms of the School of Theology at Claremont. At first the study of a text may not seem to support a traditional Christian conviction, or the answer one hopes to find in The Bible. But with a little ingenuity, one can set up the comparison again with other emphases and make the answer come out right. To a non-Christian, this passage then has its literal meaning, but to a Christian it can be given another, entirely different meaning, even though the words are the same.

What is the difference between the Hebrew Bible and the king James Bible?
The Hebrew Bible is another name for what Christians often call the "Old Testament." Jews do not tend to call their bible the "Old Testament", since this name implies that their bible is "old" or that it was replaced by the New Testament. Jewish people do respect the Christian scriptures but do not regard the New Testament as sacred to Judaism, so a Bible for Jews would only contains the Old Testament. Since they do not have any other Testaments, many Jews call their scriptures the Hebrew Bible or the Tanakh (the Hebrew abbreviation for these scriptures).As for the King James Bible, it is a popular Christian translation, from the Protestant tradition-- it contains both the Old Testament and the New Testament. You will note that the King James translation of the Old Testament puts the books in a different order from how the Hebrew Bible has them, and some older versions of King James translate certain verses somewhat differently, in an effort to "prove" that Jesus was predicted in the Hebrew scriptures (Jews do not believe he was). But in general, the main difference is the King James Bible contains both the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament, while a Hebrew Bible contains the approved Jewish scriptures only, usually translated from the Hebrew by the Jewish Publication Society or another authorized Jewish organization.
