and=not known the,abundance on_the=earth

Verse 31 restates much of the content of verse 30, so keep that it mind as you translate the beginning of this verse. Alternate translation: “Indeed, there will be no evidence left that there were years when there was more than enough food,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

from=face/in_front_of the,famine (the)=that after so that/for/because/then/when severe he/it very

For some languages, it clearer and more natural to put this clause near the beginning of this verse and say, “Yes, the famine that is coming will be so severe/terrible that people will completely forget about the time/years when food was abundant/plentiful in the land.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “because the famine that happens after that will be very oppressive.” or “because the following years when food is scarce will be so terrible.”
