6:4a For a stillborn child enters in futility and departs in darkness,

(Revised Standard Version🙂 For it comes into vanity and goes into darkness,

It is senseless when a baby is born dead. The baby is quickly buried in a dark grave. (English Easy-to-Read Version)
-or-
The ⌊dead⌋ child’s birth has no purpose. He immediately goes to a dark place. (EEB)

6:4b and his name is shrouded in obscurity.

And he would have died without even being named.
-or-
And no one would have known anything about him.

6:4a-b (combined)

It is senseless when a baby is born dead. The baby is quickly buried in a dark grave, without even a name. (English Easy-to-Read Version)
-or-
That kind of birth does not have any meaning. The baby dies in darkness and leaves this world. Nobody knows his name.
