No book of the Old Testament contains any real prophecy of Jesus, and arguably none contains any unfulfilled predictions of the messiah whom some Jews still wait for. It is only when the Old Testament books are read with the intention of finding a certain message, whether that be a prediction of Jesus, or even of Muhammad, that some say they find just the right message.

Answer

There are 19 books of the Old Testament that do not contain any Messianic prophecies.

Leviticus

Joshua

Judges

Ruth

1 Samuel

1 Kings

2 Kings

Ezra

Nehemiah

Esther

Ecclesiastes

Song of Solomon

Lamentations

Obadiah

Jonah

Nahum

Zephaniah

Haggai

Predictive prophecies can be understood in several ways. Some prophecies seem to have a direct, literal fulfillment: the Messiah was to be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2). Not all predictions were fulfilled literally. Elijah's return was fulfilled by John the Baptist and not a literal Elijah (Matthew 11:13-15, Malachi 3:1-4). Typological interpretation shows how Old Testament events, persons, or things foreshadowed the later Christian story. Typology helps us see the New Testament person, event, or situation as the fulfillment of that which was only hinted at in the Old Testament.
