The number 14 in ojdbc14.jar implies that it was compiled with JDK1.4. Similarly, 8 on ojdbc8.jar implies it was compiled with JDK8. Therefore, you won't be able to use ojdbc8.jar with JDK1.4.

Regarding backward compatibility of the Oracle Server you can refer to this matrix extracted from Oracle support:
