Panasonic lumix g 7 14mm f 4 vs panasonic leica dg 8 18mm f 2 8 4?

Both lenses are for Micro Four Thirds, both autofocus, and neither is stabilised, so the choice comes down to how wide you need to go and how much light you need.

The Panasonic Lumix G 7-14mm f/4 is the wider of the two. On Micro Four Thirds it frames like 14-28mm on full frame, which suits architecture, interiors and big landscapes. Its aperture stays at f/4 across the zoom.

The Panasonic Leica DG 8-18mm f/2.8-4 is less wide, but it frames like 16-36mm on full frame, covering more everyday ground, and it opens to f/2.8 at the wide end. For general walking-around and travel, that's the one I'd pick. For the widest shots, go with the 7-14mm.
