Partner leads the ♠4. Do you play the ♠J or ♠Q?

The jack us the standard card - third hand plays lower of touching honors and playing the queen denies the jack. That being said, there are some hands where you play the wrong card to get partner to do the right thing, for example, denying an honor you hold so partner will shift to something you really need.

Thus doesn't appear to be one of those situations. If partner has K9xx or KTxx you want him to lead low to your remaining honor to unblock so don't deny that honor. Play the jack.
