zookeeper: Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

I'm trying to follow the guide on the kafka website: https://kafka.apache.org/quickstart But when I use kafka_2.12-2.5.0 and try to start the zookeeper I get:

$ bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh  config/zookeeper.properties
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/apache/zookeeper/server/quorum/QuorumPeerMain : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

I'm using redhat7.1. Tried to update java:

$ sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel
Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, subscription-manager
This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.
...
Package 1:java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel-1.8.0.31-2.b13.el7.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

What version of Java should I have?

This '52.0' means that it's compiled with 1.8 jdk, but you are triying to run mainly with lower one (or even very high incompatible?). By default use the JAVA_HOME environment variable, so hope you already checked the basics: java_home, java --version... or even force an export of java_home just before running pointing a proper 32/64 java
