If so, where in the Old Testament can I read about this prophecy?

No. It was 456 prophecies in the Old Testament. These were only fulfilled completely in Jesus Christ. (75 from the Pentateuch, 243 from the Prophets, and 138 from the other books.)
The odds of one man even fulfilling 8 of them are one in ten to the seventeenth power, (that's a 10 with 17 zeroes following it.) according to mathematician Peter Stoner of Westmont College.

Psalm 22:1.....Matthew 27:46
Jeremiah 31:15.......Matthew 2:16-18
Micah 5:2........Luke 2:4-11
Hosea 11:1.....Matthew 2:14, 15
Zechariah 11:12....Matthew 26:15; 27:3-10
Zechariah 13:7...Matthew 26:31, 56

Some, for starters...
Isaiah 53 (so aptly fits the life of Jesus, and the oldest copy discovered was written 200 years before he was born)
Daniel 9:24-27 sums up when he would appear, when he would die, and when God would abandon his covenant with the Israelites.
There are literally hundreds of others.

in case you're saying Jesus isn't God then clarify Colossians 2:9 or Titus 2:13. As to the former testomony. Isaiah fifty 3 is an outline of the suffering servant, Jesus. you could't take only one prophecy and say Jesus isn't it because of only one prophecy. Isaiah 9:6 is a sparkling statement that the messiah is God.

Yes, most of these prophecies are in the book of Isaiah.
Many, but not all, Christians see these verses as foretelling the coming of Jesus. Recent scholarship, however, has pointed out that there are other ways of reading these verses that most likely point to actual living figures and not to Jesus. So, while many Christians do believe in Jesus, they have moved away from using Isianic passages as proof.

Absolutely.
More than anywhere else in Isaiah 52:13-53:12. Please read it!
But also...
Psalm 22 (especially 15-18 where it talks about Jesus thirsting, being pierced in his hands and feet, not having his bones broken, and having his clothing gambled for)
Isaiah 7:14 (virgin birth)
Isaiah 9:2,6-7 (a ruling son who is God)
Jeremiah 33:15-16 (this is one of the many passages discribing Jesus as being from David's line)
Micah 5:2-5 (born in Bethlehem)
Zechariah 3 (vision foreshadowing Jesus and the removal of sin)
Zechariah 9:9 (Palm Sunday)
Zechariah 11:13 (thirty pieces of silver)
There's actually more, but I that's a good start.

Daniel 9:24-27; Messiah will come and be cut off. It is 606 years to Messiah is born,
but there is no temple, it has been destroyed, so the concern is getting the temple built and the math problem here is the time to the Messiah cut off after that.

The Lord Jesus Christ came to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Matthew 15: 24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. The prophecy in the OT of the coming Messiah to Israel can be found in Isaiah. Because the Nation of Israel rejected their Messiah and had Him killed all people can now come to God because the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins. Isaiah 53: 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53: 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53: 7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. Isaiah 53: 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. Isaiah 53: 12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

The book of Isaiah describes it. I don't know the exact chapter, but it does discuss the coming of a messiah.
