This is the end of the Protestant Old Testament. There are 400 years between the Old Testament and the coming of Jesus in the New Testament.
The Catholic (and Eastern Orthodox) religions includes the intertestamental books in their bible. Those books, known as the apocrypha, include Tobit, Judith, Additions to Esther, 1 Maccabees, 2 Maccabees, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, Letter of Jeremiah, Additions to Daniel, Song of the Three Children, Bel and the Dragon.
These books are not included in the Protestant Bible because they were not written in Hebrew and/or are not considered divinely inspired.
Wikipedia discusses a further 20 intertestamental books that have been adopted by the Eastern Orthodox, Orthodox Tewahedo, Syriac and Beta Israel religions.
